Abstract : Using Information Geometry tools, we represent landmarks of a complex shape as probability densities in a statistical manifold. Then, in the setting of shapes clustering through a K-means algorithm, we evaluate the discriminative power of two different shapes distances. The first, derived from Fisher-Rao metric, is related with the minimization of information in the Fisher sense and the other is derived from the Wasserstein distance which measures the minimal transportation cost.

Keywords : K-means algorithm Shape Analysis Fisher-Rao metric Wasserstein distance 6 clustering wasserstein distance 9
