22. 23took a different tack to show that Rosenholtz and Malik’s definition of homogeneity implies that surface texture orientations at neighboring points on a surface are equivalent under parallel transport. This result also implies that homogeneous, oriented textures flow along geode- sics of developable surfaces.
