Some Matrix manifolds (Lie group, Grassmann manifold and Riemannian manifold) for computer vision

Lie group 

A Lie group is a set G with two structures: G is a group and G is a (smooth, 

real) manifold. These structures agree in the following sense: multiplication and 

inversion are smooth maps. 

Stiefel manifold 

The Stiefel manifold of orthonormal -frames in Rn  is the collection of vectors (v1,v2 ...,vn ) where vi is in Rn

 for all i, and the k-tuple (v1, v2...,vk ) is orthonormal. 

Grassmann manifolds is a certain collection of vector subspaces of a vector space. In particular, gnk is the Grassmann manifold of k-dimensional subspaces of the vector 

space. 

Riemannian manifolds- In the Riemannian framework, the tangent space TxM at each point x of a manifold M is endowed with a smooth inner product <⋅, ⋅>x.
