Abstract

We introduce a new framework to construct atlases from images with very large and complex deformations. The atlas is build in parallel with groupwise registrations by extending the symmetric Log-Demons algorithm. We describe and evaluate two forms of our framework: the Groupwise Log-Demons (GL-Demons) is faster but is limited to local nonrigid deformations, and the Groupwise Spectral Log-Demons (GSL-Demons) is slower but, due to isometry-invariant representations of images, can construct atlases of organs with high shape variability. We demonstrate our framework by constructing atlases from hearts with high shape variability.
