Warping process and warping energy. (a) Warping of the shape of a contracting myocyte into the shape of the average relaxed myocyte. After 246 iterations the template shape matched the target shape with a similarity of over 99.99% as measured by the correlation coefficient between the warped shape and the average shape. (b) Energy of the warping of the shape of a contracting myocyte into the shape of the average relaxed myocyte. The energy minimization process reaches a stable minimum after 246 iterations.
