Robust Diffeomorphic Mapping via Geodesically Controlled Active Shapes

Algorithm 1

Geodesically controlled diffeomorphic segmentation algorithm.
In order to find an initial momentum minimizing (6)
Initialize with being vertices of template and .
For the current system, update matrices and according to and (19).
Compute the gradient , for example using (14), (16), or (21).
Solve system backward in time with initial condition and .
Replace by , being optimized with a line search.
Update the initial momentum , and solve (2) initialized at
     , to obtain the updated surface .
Iterate steps 2 to 6 until numerical convergence or reaching the maximum iteration limit.
