We propose a novel method for deformable tensor-to-tensor registration of Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) data. Our registration method considers estimated diffusion tensors as normally distributed random variables whose covariance matrices describe uncertainties in the mean estimated tensor due to factors such as noise in diffusion weighted images (DWIs), tissue diffusion properties, and experimental design. The dissimilarity between distributions of tensors in two different voxels is computed…
