Title: Shape analysis on Lie groups and homogeneous spaces,
Abstract: In this paper we are concerned with the approach to shape analysis based on
the so called Square Root Velocity Transform (SRVT). We propose a
generalisation of the SRVT from Euclidean spaces to shape spaces of curves on
Lie groups and on homogeneous manifolds. The main idea behind our approach is
to exploit the geometry of the natural Lie group actions on these spaces.
