Abstract
Symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices are geometric data that appear in many applications. They are used in particular in Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) as a simple model of the anisotropic diffusion of water in the tissues. This chapter extends the Riemannian computing statistical estimation framework of chapters 1 and 2 to manifold-valued images with the example of SPD matrices. SPD matrices constitute a smooth but incomplete manifold with the classical Euclidean metric on matrices. This creates important computational problems for image processing since we easily pass the boundaries to end-up ...
