Abstract


This paper describes a new method for determining correspondence between points on pairs of surfaces based on shape using a combination of geodesic distance and surface curvature. An initial sparse set of corresponding points is generated using a shape-based matching procedure. Geodesic interpolation is employed in order to capture the complex surface. In addition, surface correspondence and triangulation are computed simultaneously in a hierarchical way. Results applied to human cerebral cortical surfaces are shown to evaluate the approach.
