We consider the estimation of diffeomorphic deformations aligning a known binary shape and its distorted observation. The classical solution consists in extracting landmarks, establishing correspondences and then the aligning transformation is obtained via a complex optimization procedure. Herein we present an alternative solution which works without landmark correspondences, is independent of the magnitude of transformation, easy to implement, and has a linear time complexity. The proposed universal framework is capable of recovering linear as well as nonlinear deformations.
