Resolution-free neural surrogates for geometric parameterization and mapping with spatially varying fields

arXiv:2605.28551v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Many imaging problems require computing spatial transformations induced by spatially varying intensity, feature, or density fields. Canonical examples include distortion correction, deformable image registration, atlas-based segmentation, and deformation-driven image analysis. These tasks can be formulated as geometric mapping problems in which the transformation is constrained to preserve local structure, control boundary behavior, or regulate angular distortion. Such formulations typically lead to variational models, diffusion processes, or e
