Optimal transport for vector Gaussian mixture models
share
Vector Gaussian mixture models form an important special subset of vector-valued distributions. Any physical entity that can mutate or transit among alternative manifestations distributed in a given space falls into this category. A key example is color imagery. In this note, we vectorize the Gaussian mixture model and study different optimal mass transport related problems for such models. The benefits of using vector Gaussian mixture for optimal mass transport include computational efficiency and the ability to preserve structure.
