'''Generalized multidimensional scaling (GMDS)''' is an extension of metric [[multidimensional scaling]], in which the target space inis non-Euclidean. In case when the dissimilarities are distances on a surface and the target space is another surface, GMDS allows finding the minimum-distortion embedding of one surface into another.

GMDS is an emerging research direction. Currently, main applications are recognition of deformable objects (e.g. for [[three-dimensional face recognition]]) and texture mapping.
