Numerical geometry of non-rigid shapes by A. Bronstein, M. Bronstein, and R. Kimmel combines the beauty of modern mathematics... with the interesting field of computer vision and pattern recognition. ... The book is developed at an intermediate-advanced level. Students will find the material clear and easy to understand, and will benefit from its good presentation.

Stefan Henn, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010

This book is well-written and organized. It is full of little nice examples and figures.

A comprehensive, engaging and vivid exploration of the non-rigid world - the field of non-rigid shape analysis and its applications in pattern recognition, computer vision, and computer graphics. The book offers a fresh look on many problems and links methods from various field. Highly recommended as a reference for researchers and students.
