Abstract:
We present a new framework for diffeomorphic image registration which supports natural interpretations of spatially-varying metrics. This framework is based on left-invariant diffeomorphic metrics (LIDM) and is closely related to the now standard large deformation diffeomorphic metric mapping (LDDMM). We discuss the relationship between LIDM and LDDMM and introduce a computationally convenient class of spatially-varying metrics appropriate for both frameworks. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on a 2D toy example and on the 40 3D brain images of the LPBA40 dataset.

Residuals and Least-Squares Property
If the observed data point lies above the line, the residual is positive, and the line underestimates the actual data value for y. If the observed data point lies below the line, the residual is negative, and the line overestimates the actual data value for y.
