Isovolumetric Energy Minimization for Ball-Shaped Volume-Preserving Parameterizations of 3-Manifolds
<|reference_start|>Isovolumetric Energy Minimization for Ball-Shaped Volume-Preserving Parameterizations of 3-Manifolds: A volume-preserving parameterization is a bijective mapping that maps a 3-manifold onto a specified canonical domain that preserves the local volume. This paper formulates the computation of ball-shaped volume-preserving parameterizations as an isovolumetric energy minimization (IEM) problem with the boundary points constrained on a unit sphere. In addition, we develop a new preconditioned nonlinear conjugate gradient algorithm for solving the IEM problem with guaranteed theoretical convergence and significantly improved accuracy and computational efficiency compared to other state-of-the-art algorithms. Applications to solid shape registration and deformation are presented to highlight the usefulness of the proposed algorithm.<|reference_end|>
