Isometric Embeddings in Imaging and Vision: Facts and Fiction

Abstract

We explore the practicability of Nash's Embedding Theorem in vision and imaging sciences. In particular, we investigate the relevance of a result of Burago and Zalgaller regarding the existence of isometric embeddings of polyhedral surfaces in R3 and we show that their proof does not extended directly to higher dimensions.
