Quadrados Mínimos Não-Lineares e Aplicações em Deformação de Objetos 2D

Nonlinear least squares problems arise in many applications, especially in curve fitting, but they may occur in a more general case as a overdetermined system of nonlinear equations. To solve these problems we use the Gauss{Newton Method, analysing not only its theoretical properties but also its computational performance. We apply these concepts to the study of 2D-Shape Deformation problems.
