Abstract

In this paper, we explore the use of over-complete spherical wavelets in shape analysis of closed 2D surfaces. Previous work has demonstrated, theoretically and practically, the advantages of over-complete over bi-orthogonal spherical wavelets. Here we present a detailed formulation of over-complete wavelets, as well as shape analysis experiments of cortical folding development using them. Our experiments verify in a quantitativefashion existing qualitativetheories of neuro-anatomical development. Furthermore, the experiments reveal novelinsights into neuro-anatomical development not previously documented.
