This paper brings together two existing projects with two new contributions:

  • Estimating the distribution of noisy tractography streamlines around a known "true" curve is described in my ISMRM 2012 submission.
  • Curve-to-curve similarity is described in my NIH talk from 2009. Code for this is in ~/gfx/brain_imaging/curveClustering. The Matlab code was a prototype; the cpp code is a full implementation.
    • curveDistRowClient computes certain rows of the pairwise distance matrix. This stuff should be rewritten around the curveCollection library and checked into $G.
    • The mean endpoint distance is probably a more appropriate and (computationally and conceptually) lighter-weight measure to use.
  • Initialization and merging of curve bundles is new.
  • Optimization of the chi-squared reconstruction error is new.
