Brain and Surface Warping via Minimizing Lipschitz Extensions

چکیده
Based on the notion Minimizing Lipschitz Extensions and its connection with the infinity Laplacian, a computational framework for surface warping and in particular brain warping (the nonlinear registration of brain imaging data) is presented in this paper. The basic concept is to compute a map between surfaces that minimizes a distortion measure based on geodesic distances while respecting the boundary conditions provided. In particular, the global Lipschitz constant of the map is minimized. This framework allows generic boundary conditions to be applied and allows direct surface-to-surface warping. It avoids the need for intermediate maps that flatten the surface onto the plane or sphere, as is commonly done in the literature on surface-based non-rigid brain image registration. The presentation of the framework is complemented with examples on synthetic geometric phantoms and cortical surfaces extracted from human brain MRI scans.

متن کاملWeak Fubini Property and Infinity Harmonic Functions in Riemannian and Sub-riemannian Manifolds
We examine the relationship between infinity harmonic functions, absolutely minimizing Lipschitz extensions, strong absolutely minimizing Lipschitz extensions, and absolutely gradient minimizing extensions in CarnotCarathéodory spaces. Using the weak Fubini property we show that absolutely minimizing Lipschitz extensions are infinity harmonic in any sub-Riemannian manifold.
متن کاملA convergent difference scheme for the infinity Laplacian: construction of absolutely minimizing Lipschitz extensions
This article considers the problem of building absolutely minimizing Lipschitz extensions to a given function. These extensions can be characterized as being the solution of a degenerate elliptic partial differential equation, the “infinity Laplacian”, for which there exist unique viscosity solutions. A convergent difference scheme for the infinity Laplacian equation is introduced, which arises...
متن کاملAn Explicit Solution of the Lipschitz Extension Problem
Building Lipschitz extensions of functions is a problem of classical analysis. Extensions are not unique: the classical results of Whitney and McShane provide two explicit examples. In certain cases there exists an optimal extension, which is the solution of an elliptic partial differential equation, the infinity Laplace equation. In this work, we find an explicit formula for a suboptimal exten...
متن کاملLipschitz programming via increasingconvex - along - rays functions
We propose a general scheme of reduction of a Lipschitz programming problem to a problem of minimizing increasing convex-along-rays function. It is based on the positively homogeneous extension of degree p of the objective function and projective transformation of IR n + onto the unit simplex. The application of cutting angle method to Lipschitz programming is considered.
