Transferring surface shapes into the space of currents: Analogy to 3D laser scanning of objects. Landmarking of the input shapes is avoided by using mathematical currents as non-parametric shape descriptors that model a specific patient shape as a distribution of shape features. Obtaining a currents representation as a surrogate for the actual 3D shape can be compared to probing a surface with a laser beam from different angles and positions
