Elastic registration of brain images on large PC-Clusters

摘要

The aim of the human neuroscanning project (HNSP) is to build an atlas of a human brain at cellular level. The database was obtained by a variety of image modalities and in particular histological sections of a prepared brain. As the preparation leads to linear and non-linear deformations of the tissue, reconstructing the essential information out of deformed images is a key problem within the HNSP. Our approach of correcting these deformations is based on an elastic matching of the images.
