“…Perhaps the most common model in the context of intrinsic (i.e., not relying on vertex positions and not assuming approximate alignment) approaches is approximate isometries, introduced by Bronstein et al [5] and Mémoli [21]. This model has been used by a large number of methods, (e.g., [13,33,23,28,22] among many others) that all assume that the sought correspondences must approximately preserve pairwise geodesic distances. Another set of approaches is based on a more relaxed model, conformal mappings, used by, e.g., [19,17] where only angles are assumed to be preserved.…”
