Article Title: A vectorial approach to unbalanced optimal mass transport
Abstract: Unbalanced optimal mass transport (OMT) seeks to remove the conservation of mass constraint by adding a source term to the standard continuity equation in the Benamou-Brenier formulation of OMT. In this study, we show how the unbalanced case fits into the vector-valued OMT framework simply by adding an auxiliary source layer and taking the flow between the source layer and the original layer(s) as the source term. This allows for unbalanced models both in the scalar and vector-valued density settings. The results are demonstrated on a number of synthetic and real vector-valued data sets. © 2013 IEEE.
