This paper presents a novel approach to define deformation invariant attribute vector (DIAV) for each voxel in 3D brain image for the purpose of anatomic correspondence detection. The DIAV method is validated by using synthesized deformation in 3D brain MRI images. Both theoretic analysis and experimental studies demonstrate that the proposed DIAV is invariant to general nonlinear deformation. Moreover, our experimental results show that the DIAV is able to capture rich anatomic information around the voxels and exhibit strong discriminative ability. The DIAV has been integrated into a deformable registration algorithm for longitudinal brain MR images, and the results on both simulated and real brain images are provided to demonstrate the good performance of the proposed registration algorithm based on matching of DIAVs.
