We introduce an (equi-)affine invariant geometric structure by which surfaces that go through squeeze and shear transformations can still be properly analyzed. The definition of an affine invariant metric enables us to evaluate a new form of geodesic distances and to construct an invariant Laplacian from which local and global diffusion geometry is constructed. Applications of the proposed framework demonstrate its power in generalizing and enriching the existing set of tools for shape analysis. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
