Exercise · ZW-VECTOR-FIELD-007 · ★☆☆ Basic
In the equation \(\dot{\varphi}_t=v_t\circ\varphi_t\), what does \(\varphi_t\) represent?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- B. The flow that transports each point over time
Explanation
\(\varphi_t\) is the flow generated by \(v_t\): it describes the position of each point at time \(t\).
Review the concept: Velocity field
A velocity field \(v_t\) is a vector field that changes with time: at each instant \(t\) it assigns to every point the velocity at which it moves. In LDDMM it guides the smooth motion of the deformation.
\[v_t(x)\]
