Curvature flow refers to the process where a curve or surface evolves over time in such a way that its shape changes according to its curvature, aiming to minimize some energy functional or reach a more regular state. This concept is pivotal in understanding geometric evolution equations and has applications in image processing, computer vision, and the study of minimal surfaces.

Geometric Evolution Equations are mathematical frameworks that describe how geometric shapes or structures change over time, often used in physics, geometry, and image processing. These equations are crucial for understanding phenomena such as the deformation of interfaces and the curvature-driven flow of surfaces.

Computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that enables computers to interpret and make decisions based on visual data from the world. It combines techniques from image processing, machine learning, and neural networks to allow machines to recognize objects, track movements, and understand scenes in a manner similar to human vision.
