Two-Parameter Flow Map Learning for Continuous-Time Diffeomorphic Image Registration

The paper introduces a new framework for learning continuous-time diffeomorphic image registration by modeling a non-autonomous ODE as a two-parameter flow map. By enforcing cocycle consistency, the method learns flow maps without time discretization or velocity integration during training, enabling efficient inference with few compositions. Experiments on nine datasets show consistent alignment improvements, including a 2.1% Dice gain on brain MRI, 12% TRE reduction on lung CT, and 2.6% Dice improvement on cardiac MRI and ultrasound.

Domain Elastic Transform: Bayesian Function Registration for High-Dimensional Scientific Data

Domain Elastic Transform (DET) is a grid‑free, probabilistic framework that jointly aligns geometry and high‑dimensional vector‑valued functions on irregular sparse manifolds, such as those found in spatial transcriptomics. By treating data as functions rather than voxelized images, DET performs unsupervised, scalable registration through sampled point alignment and displacement interpolation, guided by a joint spatial‑functional Bayesian likelihood. Evaluations on MERFISH mouse‑brain slices and Stereo‑seq mouse‑embryo atlases show DET achieving superior spatial overlap and topology compared to existing pipelines, with an accelerated variant delivering high label‑transfer accuracy.

Steer the Sampling, Not the Kernel Grid: Geometry-Guided Sampling Operator for Volumetric Segmentation

The paper introduces a geometry‑guided sampling operator that directs feature sampling rather than altering convolution kernels in 3D encoder‑decoder networks. By predicting local orientations and bounded step sizes, the operator samples symmetrically around each voxel, generating compact geometric and boundary cues that improve fine‑structure segmentation. Replacing stride‑1 and stride‑2 operations in a 3D U‑Net yields consistent gains on BraTS, MSD Hepatic Vessel, and TDSC‑ABUS datasets, with better boundary metrics and fewer parameters, and the operator can be integrated into other backbones without architectural changes.
