Exercise · ZW-MINIMUM-ENERGY-009 · ★☆☆ Basic

What does a lower energy between two admissible deformations indicate?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • C. Less effort needed to generate the transformation

Explanation

Energy measures the cost of the field that generates the transformation. Between two admissible ones, the lower-energy one requires less effort.

Review the concept: Minimum energy

The minimum energy \(E_{\min}\) is the lowest cost among admissible deformations; in LDDMM it measures how much effort the field generating the transformation requires.

\[E_{\min}=\min_{\varphi\in\mathcal{A}}E(\varphi)\]
