In geometric data analysis and statistical shape analysis, principal geodesic analysis is a generalization of principal component analysis to a non-Euclidean, non-linear setting of manifolds suitable for use with shape descriptors such as medial representations.
Famous quotes containing the words principal and/or analysis:
“Silence, indifference and inaction were Hitler’s principal allies.”
—Immanuel, Baron Jakobovits (b. 1921)
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
