Functional Correspondence

Functional correspondence aims to establish relationships between points or features across different shapes or images, enabling tasks like shape matching and object manipulation. Current research focuses on developing efficient and robust algorithms, including transformer-based architectures and methods leveraging functional maps, to achieve accurate correspondences even with non-rigid deformations. These advancements are crucial for improving robotic manipulation of deformable objects, such as clothing, and enhancing computer vision applications requiring accurate shape analysis and image registration. The ultimate goal is to create more adaptable and versatile systems capable of handling complex real-world scenarios.
