Spatially Consistent Supervoxel Correspondences of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Images.
IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging 2018 October
Establishing dense correspondences of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images is a crucial step for the attribute transfer and morphological variation assessment in clinical orthodontics. In this paper, a novel method, unsupervised spatially consistent clustering forest, is proposed to tackle the challenges for automatic supervoxel-wise correspondences of CBCT images. A complexity analysis of the proposed method with respect to the clustering hypotheses is provided with a data-dependent learning guarantee. The learning bound considers both the sequential tree traversals determined by questions stored in branch nodes and the clustering compactness of leaf nodes. A novel tree-pruning algorithm, guided by the learning bound, is also proposed to remove locally inconsistent leaf nodes. The resulting forest yields spatially consistent affinity estimations, thanks to the pruning penalizing trees with inconsistent leaf assignments and the combinational contextual feature channels used to learn the forest. A forest-based metric is utilized to derive the pairwise affinities and dense correspondences of CBCT images. The proposed method has been applied to the label propagation of clinically captured CBCT images. In the experiments, the method outperforms variants of both supervised and unsupervised forest-based methods and state-of-the-art label-propagation methods, achieving the mean dice similarity coefficients of 0.92, 0.89, 0.94, and 0.93 for the mandible, the maxilla, the zygoma arch, and the teeth data, respectively.
