    Abstract

    This paper presents a method of deformable registration of cortical structures across individuals, using hybrid volumetric and surface warping. The proposed method uses two steps. In the first step, a HAMMER-based volumetric registration algorithm warps the model surface to the individual's space. In the second step, an attribute-based surface registration method further refines the results of the volumetric warping. An attribute vector is defined for each vertex on the cortical surface, and used to capture the local and global geometric features of the surface patch. The attribute vector is designed to be as distinctive as possible, so that each vertex on the model surface can find its correspondence on the individual surface. Experimental results on synthesized and real brain data are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method in registering cortical structures across individuals.
