In many medical image analysis applications we have a large collection of data sets available to us. In such applications, we are faced with at least two different challenges: first, most analyses we are interested in carrying out on the data-sets require point-wise spatial correspondence across the images. Co-registration of the image data set directly or indirectly attempts to solve this problem by spatially warping the images into a common, so-called “atlas space.” Another important challenge we face is coming up with a summary of the collection – this summary is usually called a template or an atlas, which is usually an average image.
