In this work, we extend the Euclidean wavelets on the sphere. The resulting over-complete spherical wavelets are invariant to rotation of the parameterization of the original spherical image. We apply the over-complete spherical wavelet to cortical folding development and show significantly consistent results as well as improved sensitivity compared with the previous method of using bi-orthogonal spherical wavelet. In particular, we are able to detect developmental asymmetry in the left and right hemispheres.

Description

Bi-orthogonal spherical wavelets have been shown to be powerful tools in the segmentation and shape analysis of 2D closed surfaces [1,2], but unfortunately they suffer from aliasing problems and are therefore not invariant under rotations of the underlying surface parameterization. See the toy example in the figure below.

Bump on the sphere (left side). When the north pole is right under the bump, both the bi-orthogonal and overcomplete wavelets detect the bump (first column on the right). When the north pole is rotated away from the bump, only the overcomplete wavelet detects the bump (second column on the right).

Instead, we propose to use the over-complete spherical wavelets. These over-complete spherical wavelets are based on filter bank theory, directly extending the ideas of Euclidean steerable pyramid to the sphere. We demonstrate the theoretical advantage of over-complete wavelets over bi-orthogonal wavelets. We also show that over-complete spherical wavelets allow us to build more stable cortical folding development models, and detect a wider array of regions of folding development in a newborn dataset.

Bi-orthogonal wavelets: Original Parameterization
Bi-orthogonal wavelets: Different Parameterization
Over-complete wavelets: Original Parameterization
Over-complete wavelets: Different Parameterization

The two images on the left show the cortical folding speed detected by the bi-orthogonal wavelets. Notice, how the detection changes wildly with a different parameterization. On the other hand, the results of over-complete wavelets are stable across different parameterization.
