  text: With increasingly sophisticated Diffusion Weighted MRI acquisition methods
    and modeling techniques, very large sets of streamlines (fibers) are presently
    generated per imaged brain. These reconstructions of white matter architecture,
    which are important for human brain research and pre-surgical planning, require
    a large amount of storage and are often unwieldy and difficult to manipulate and
    analyze. This work proposes a novel continuous parsimonious framework in which
    signals are sparsely represented in a dictionary with continuous atoms. The significant
    innovation in our new methodology is the ability to train such continuous dictionaries,
    unlike previous approaches that either used pre-fixed continuous transforms or
    training with finite atoms. This leads to an innovative fiber representation method,
    which uses Continuous Dictionary Learning to sparsely code each fiber with high
    accuracy. This method is tested on numerous tractograms produced from the Human
    Connectome Project data and achieves state-of-the-art performances in compression
    ratio and reconstruction error.
