Cortical thickness analysis in autism with heat kernel smoothing.
We present a novel data smoothing and analysis framework for cortical thickness data defined on the brain cortical manifold. Gaussian kernel smoothing, which weights neighboring observations according to their 3D Euclidean distance, has been widely used in 3D brain images to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. When the observations lie on a convoluted brain surface, however, it is more natural ...
متن کاملHeat Kernel Smoothing and its Application to Cortical Manifolds
In brain imaging analysis, there is a need for analyzing data collected on the cortical surface of the human brain. Gaussian kernel smoothing has been widely used in this area in conjunction with random field theory for analyzing data residing in Euclidean spaces. The Gaussian kernel is isotropic in Euclidian space so it assigns the same weights to observations equal distance apart. However, wh...
متن کاملA Heat Kernel Based Cortical Thickness Estimation Algorithm
Cortical thickness estimation in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important technique for research on brain development and neurodegenerative diseases. This paper presents a heat kernel based cortical thickness estimation algorithm, which is driven by the graph spectrum and the heat kernel theory, to capture the grey matter geometry information in the in vivo brain MR images. First, we us...
متن کاملHeat Kernel Smoothing in Irregular Image Domains
We review heat kernel smoothing techniques for denoising and regressing data in irregularly shaped domains embedded in Euclidean spaces. This is a problem often encountered in functional data analysis and medical imaging. In this chapter, we present a unified mathematical framework based on the eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operators defined on irregular domains. Numerical implementati...
متن کاملHeat Kernel Smoothing Using Laplace-Beltrami Eigenfunctions
We present a novel surface smoothing framework using the Laplace-Beltrami eigenfunctions. The Green's function of an isotropic diffusion equation on a manifold is constructed as a linear combination of the Laplace-Beltraimi operator. The Green's function is then used in constructing heat kernel smoothing. Unlike many previous approaches, diffusion is analytically represented as a series expansi...
