We present a stable conformal mapping method for brain surface parameterization. This technique maps 3D brain surfaces to a slit domain, simplifying anatomical visualization and analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Computational geometry
  • Medical imaging
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Brain surface parameterization is crucial for anatomical analysis.
  • Existing methods may lack stability or struggle with complex topologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a stable conformal mapping method for multiply connected meshes.
  • To apply this method to brain surface parameterization.

Main Methods:

  • Computed conformal mapping to a slit domain (rectangle or disk).
  • Utilized harmonic one-forms and holomorphic one-forms.
  • Solved linear systems for stable computation.
  • Mapped 3D curved landmarks to lines in the slit domain.

Main Results:
