Abstract: We study the pull-back of the 2-parameter family of quotient elastic metrics introduced in Mio-Srivastava-Joshi on the space of arc-length parameterized loops. This point of view has the advantage of concentrating on the manifold of arc-length parameterized curves, which is a very natural manifold when the analysis of un-parameterized curves is concerned, pushing aside the tricky quotient procedure detailed in Lahiri-Robinson-Klassen of the preshape space of parameterized curves by the reparameterization (semi-)group. In order to study the problem of finding geodesics between two given arc-length parameterized loops under these quotient elastic metrics, we give a precise computation of the gradient of the energy functional in the smooth case as well as a discretization of it, and implement a path-straightening method. This allows us to have a better understanding of how the landscape of the energy functional varies with respect to the parameters.

Review text

This paper is devoted to the study of the pull-back of 2-parameter families of quotient metrics introduced in [``On shape of plane elastic curves, Int. J. Comput. Vision 73, No. 3, 307--324 (2007; \url{doi:10.1007/s11263-006-9968-0})] by \textit{W. Mio} et al. The authors of the paper under review study the problem of finding geodesics between two given arc-length parameterized curves under these quotient elastic metrics, and they give a precise computation of the gradient of the energy functional in the smooth case as well as a discretization of it. Also, they implement a path-straightening method. In conclusion, the paper is interesting and worth to study by those interested in the study of elastic metrics.
