摘要
In this paper we present a robust approach to the registration of white matter tractographies extracted from DT-MRI scans. The fibers are projected into a high dimensional feature space defined by the sequence of their 3D coordinates. Adaptive mean-shift (AMS) clustering is applied to extract a compact set of representative fiber-modes (FM). Each FM is assigned to a multivariate Gaussian distribution according to its population thereby leading to a Mixture of Gaussians (MoG) representation for the entire set of fibers. The registration between two fiber sets is treated as the alignment of two MoGs and is performed by maximizing their correlation ratio. A 9 parameter affine transform is recovered and eventually refined to a 12 parameters affine transform using an innovative mean-shift (MS) based registration refinement scheme presented in this paper. The validation of the algorithm on intra-subject data demonstrates its robustness against two main tractography artifacts: interrupted and deviating fiber tracts.
