Dear Tabinda,

we interpolate the original signal using spherical harmonics and then sample 
100 directions form this representations:
https://phabricator.mitk.org/source/mitk/browse/master/Modules/DiffusionImaging/FiberTracking/Algorithms/TrackingHandlers/mitkTrackingHandlerRandomForest.cpp;2642ee4902f4b1e8f5c443f22b30aa896795d5da$105

The actual fitting of the spherical harmonics and the sampling is done in this 
class: 
https://phabricator.mitk.org/source/mitk/browse/master/Modules/DiffusionImaging/DiffusionCore/include/Algorithms/Reconstruction/itkAnalyticalDiffusionQballReconstructionImageFilter.h

The number of directions is defined by the template parameter 
NumberOfSignalFeatures of the TrackingHandlerRandomForest class.

Cheers,
Peter

Betreff: [mitk-users] Resampling the signal for tractography using machine 
learning

Hi!

I am reading the paper "Neher, P. F., Côté, M.-A., Houde, J.-C., Descoteaux,
M. & Maier-Hein, K. H. Fiber tractography using machine learning. Neuroimage
158, 417-429 (2017)" and am trying to understand the methodology using the
MITK source code. But I am confused how the input raw signal is resampled to
100 directions? I couldn't locate the source code for this particular step.
I need to know how mathematically this is done?
For example if original data is (140x140x90) is acquired using 30 gradients
(which makes the dMRI 140x140x90x30), resampling causes the dMRI to be of
size 140x140x90x100? Guidance on the resampling will help me to understand
the algorithm. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Tabinda
