摘　　要：A relatively new family of image registration methods, namely groupwise registration, has recently emerged and been widely investigated due to its fundamentally key role in analyzing image populations in terms of atlas-based analysis or clinical diagnostic systems. Compared with pairwise registration, groupwise registration is capable of handling a large-scale population of images simultaneously in an unbiased way. In this paper, a review of the latest research on groupwise registration is presented. First, the schemes of pairwise registration and groupwise registration are compared. Then, a classification of groupwise registration and several exemplar implementations of groupwise registration are illustrated, including their experimental results. Finally, typical applications of groupwise registration, e.g., infant atlas construction, and population-based anatomical variability evaluation, are discussed in this paper.A relatively new family of image registration methods, namely groupwise registration, has recently emerged and been widely investigated due to its fundamentally key role in analyzing image populations in terms of atlas-based analysis or clinical diagnostic systems.
