We adapt the formalism of
currents
to compare data surfaces and surfaces of a mechanical model and we use this discrepancy measure to feed a data assimilation procedure. We apply our methodology to perform parameter estimation in a biomechanical model of the heart using synthetic observations of the endo- and epicardium surfaces of an infarcted left ventricle. We compare this formalism with a more classical signed distance operator between surfaces and we numerically show that we have improved the efficiency of our estimation justifying the use of state-of-the-art computational geometry formalism in the data assimilation measurements processing.
