Abstract
We present a population registration framework that acts on large collections or populations of data volumes. The data alignment procedure runs in a simultaneous fashion, with every member of the population approaching the central tendency of the collection at the same time. Such a mechanism eliminates the need for selecting a particular reference frame a priori, resulting in a non-biased estimate of a digital atlas. Our algorithm adopts an affine congealing framework with an information theoretic objective function and is optimized via a gradient-based stochastic approximation process embedded in a multi-resolution setting. We present experimental results on both synthetic and real images.
