Multi-Frequency Image Completion via a Biologically-Inspired Sub-Riemannian Model with Frequency and Phase [PDF]
We present a novel cortically-inspired image completion algorithm. It uses five-dimensional sub-Riemannian cortical geometry, modeling the orientation, spatial frequency and phase-selective behavior of the cells in the visual cortex.

On the role of abnormal minimizers in sub-riemannian geometry [PDF]
Consider a sub-Riemannian geometry $(U,D,g)$ where $U$ is a neighborhood at 0 in $\R^n,$ $D$ is a rank-2 smooth $(C^\infty $ or $C^ )$ distribution and $g$ is a smooth metric on $D$. The objective of this article is to explain the role of abnormal minimizers in SR-geometry. It is based on the analysis of the Martinet SR-geometry.

Sub-semi-Riemannian geometry on $H$-type groups [PDF]
We consider $H$(eisenberg)-type groups whose law of left translation gives rise to a bracket generating distribution of step 2. In the contrast with sub-Riemannian studies we furnish the horizontal distribution with a nondegenerate indefinite metric of ...

Curvature and the equivalence problem in sub-Riemannian geometry
These notes give an introduction to the equivalence problem of sub-Riemannian manifolds. We first introduce preliminaries in terms of connections, frame bundles and sub-Riemannian geometry. Then we arrive to the main aim of these notes, which is to give the description of the canonical grading and connection existing on sub-Riemann manifolds with ...

Comparison theorems for conjugate points in sub-Riemannian geometry [PDF]
We prove sectional and Ricci-type comparison theorems for the existence of conjugate points along sub-Riemannian geodesics. In order to do that, we regard sub-Riemannian structures as a special kind of variational problems. In this setting, we identify a

Connections and Curvature in sub-Riemannian geometry
For a subRiemannian manifold and a given Riemannian extension of the metric, we define a canonical global connection. This connection coincides with both the Levi-Civita connection on Riemannian manifolds and the Tanaka-Webster connection on strictly pseudoconvex CR manifolds.

An Inverse Problem from sub-Riemannian geometry [PDF]
The geodesics for a sub-Riemannian metric on a three-dimensional contact manifold $M$ form a 1-parameter family of curves along each contact direction. However, a collection of such contact curves on $M$, locally equivalent to the solutions of a fourth-order ODE, are the geodesics of a sub-Riemannian metric only if a sequence of invariants vanish.

Sub-Riemannian Geometry of Curves and Surfaces in Roto-Translation Group Associated with Canonical Connection [PDF]
The aim of this paper is to obtain the sub-Riemannian properties of the roto-translation group RT. At the same time, we compute the sub-Riemannian limits of Gaussian curvature associated with two kinds of canonical connections for a C2-smooth surface in ...
