Partial differential equations can be used for extracting geometric features of shapes. This article summarizes recent methods to extract the normal vector field from an elliptic equation proposed by Yamada and from the heat equation, and also a method to extract the (signed) distance function from an elliptic equation that generalizes Varadhan's in 1967.

    For heat equations with zero initial data and non-negative Dirichlet data, short-time exponential decay is governed by the distance to the set where the boundary data is positive.
