Title
A novel cortical thickness estimation method based on volumetric Laplace-Beltrami operator and heat kernel.
Abstract
•A high-quality tetrahedral mesh suitable to represent cortical structures.•A volumetric Laplace–Beltrami operator to achieve the sub-voxel accuracy with a strong theoretic guarantee.•A heat kernel based method to accurately estimate the streamlines with intrinsic and global geometry information.•A novel data structure, half-face structure, for efficient tetrahedral mesh access.•Experiments on synthetic and ADNI data showed promising results.
