Globally Optimal Cortical Surface Matching With Exact Landmark Correspondence

Résumé

We present a method for establishing correspondences be- tween human cortical surfaces that exactly matches the positions of given point landmarks, while attaining the global minimum of an ob- jective function that quantifies how far the mapping deviates from con- formality. On each surface, a conformal transformation is applied to the Euclidean distance metric, resulting in a hyperbolic metric with isolated cone point singularities at the landmarks. Equivalently, each surface is mapped to a hyperbolic orbifold: a pillow-like surface with each point landmark corresponding to a pillow corner. An initial surface-to-surface mapping exactly aligns the landmarks, and gradient descent is used to find the single, global minimum of the Dirichlet energy of the remainder of the mapping. Using a population of real MRI-based cortical surfaces with manually labeled sulcus endpoints as landmarks, we evaluate the approach by how much it distorts surfaces and by its biological plau- sibility: how well it aligns previously-unseen anatomical landmarks and by how well it promotes expected associations between cortical thickness and age. We show that, compared to a painstakingly-tuned approach that balances a tradeoff between minimizing landmark mismatch and Dirichlet energy, our method has similar biological plausibility, superior surface distortion, a better theoretical foundation, and fewer arbitrary parameters to tune. We also compare to conformal mapper in the spher- ical domain to show that sacrificing exact conformality of the mapping does not cause noticeable reductions in biological plausibility.
