Persistent magnitude

D Govc, R Hepworth - Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, 2021 - Elsevier
In this paper we introduce the persistent magnitude, a new numerical invariant of (sufficiently
nice) graded persistence modules. It is a weighted and signed count of the bars of the …

[PDF][PDF] Randomness and statistical inference of shapes via the smooth Euler characteristic transform

K Meng, J Wang, L Crawford… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - researchgate.net
In this paper, we provide the mathematical foundations for the randomness of shapes and
the distributions of smooth Euler characteristic transform. Based on these foundations, we …

Reconstructing embedded graphs from persistence diagrams

RL Belton, BT Fasy, R Mertz, S Micka, DL Millman… - Computational …, 2020 - Elsevier
The persistence diagram (PD) is an increasingly popular topological descriptor. By encoding
the size and prominence of topological features at varying scales, the PD provides important …

The weighted Euler curve transform for shape and image analysis

Q Jiang, S Kurtek, T Needham - Proceedings of the IEEE …, 2020 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Abstract The Euler Curve Transform (ECT) of Turner et al. is a complete invariant of an
embedded simplicial complex, which is amenable to statistical analysis. We generalize the …
