Sparse patch-based representation with combined information of atlas for multi-atlas label fusion.

To obtain a higher accuracy in the multi-atlas patch-based label fusion method, it is essential to have the accurate similarity measure of selected patches. In this study, the authors propose a new sparse patch-based representation method using a local binary texture (LBT) in the atlas image and atlas label information for the multi-atlas label fusion. In the proposed method, the intensity informa...
