Abstract
In this work we present a new generalization of the geometric mean of positive numbers on symmetric positive‐definite matrices, called Log‐Euclidean. The approach is based on two novel algebraic structures on symmetric positive‐definite matrices: first, a lie group structure which is compatible with the usual algebraic properties of this matrix space; second, a new scalar multiplication that smoothly extends the Lie group structure into a vector space structure. From bi‐invariant metrics on the Lie group structure, we define the Log‐Euclidean mean from a Riemannian point of view. This notion coincides with the usual Euclidean mean associated with the novel vector space structure. Furthermore, this means corresponds to an arithmetic mean in the domain of matrix logarithms. We detail the invariance properties of this novel geometric mean and compare it to the recently introduced affine‐invariant mean. The two means have the same determinant and are equal in a number of cases, yet they are not identical in g...Keywords
