Comparison of slit mapping with the Ricci flow, as methods to parameterize the cortical surface. The first row shows a right hemisphere cortical surface, with 10 selected landmark curves. The second row shows results of using the circular slit mapping and Ricci flow methods (Wang et al., 2006). Both algorithms work with a surface that has boundaries. However the Ricci flow is computed by solving a nonlinear system, so it is less efficient than the slit map conformal parameterization method.
