Abstract:
We consider the problem of surface estimation and spatial smoothing over non-planar domains. In particular, we deal with the case where the data or signals occur on a domain that is a surface in a three-dimensional space. The application driving our research is the modeling of hemodynamic data, such as the shear stress and the pressure exerted by blood flow on the wall of a carotid artery. The regression model we propose consists of two key phases. First, we conformally map the surface domain to a region in the plane. Then, we apply existing regression methods for planar domains, suitably modified to respect the geometry of the original surface
domain.
