The same issue exists in the template construction.
In Section 3, we describe the proposed methods for template construction, matching, and clustering.
The HMM baseline was trained with the GMM mixture sizes of 24; and 1,189 GMMs were extracted for template construction.
The training data used for template construction is a matrix consisting of raw sampled signal intervals of selected measurements within different fault conditions.
Further improvements in template construction [39], [94] or data integration [69] are possible directions towards these goals.
The head and brain templates were constructed using averaging techniques based on iterative methods that have become the norm for MRI template construction (Fonov et al., 2011; Sanchez et al., 2012a, b).
To avoid this, a single bilateral thalamic mask was manually drawn on the final reference template according to anatomical borders previously described (Srinivasan et al. 2007) (Fig. 1 B ; for details of template construction, see Deformation-Based Morphometry).
While these conditional random field and Markov random field models are extremely powerful in theory, in practice, substantial computational barriers remain for template construction, training and computing the minimum energy threading of an unknown sequence onto a template.
Methods for template construction (e.g., nonlinear registration and transformation, iterative routines) that have been utilized and proven by others (Fonov et al., 2011; Sanchez et al., 2012a, b) were used to guide the current study.
(1) After executing the search, SINA iterates through the matches in order of descending identity and decides according to the following rules and parameters which sequences are to be kept and passed into the alignment template construction stage.
