Sulcal Pattern Matching with the Wasserstein Distance
We present the unified computational framework for modeling the sulcal patterns of human brain obtained from the magnetic resonance images. The Wasserstein distance is used to align the sulcal patterns nonlinearly. These patterns are topologically different across subjects making the pattern matching a challenge. We work out the mathematical details and develop the gradient descent algorithms for estimating the deformation field. We further quantify the image registration performance. This method is applied in identifying the differences between male and female sulcal patterns.
