Abstract:

As the generalized forms of Fourier Series and Spherical Harmonics, WFS are superior since they not only effectively reduce Gibb's phenomenon, but provide a convenient way to compute smoothness when applying random field theories. An Adaptive Iterative Regression (AIR) method is proposed for WFS representations of large-sized data, which preserves the computational efficiency of previous iterative fitting methods and improve the computational efficiency of Least-Squared Estimations. Using a novel method of calculating curvatures, we propose a curvature-based global shift registration method. Decision-tree-based classification techniques and random field theories to study the link between autism and its underlying neuroanatomy.
