By using Affinity Propagation(AP) algorithm, each individual sulcal fundi is clustered into subgroups as the elementary patterns. A higher level of global folding pattern is represented by taking 14 sulcal fundis as a whole for AP clustering, and the global folding patterns are classified accordingly. The proposed folding pattern representation method has been applied to group cortical surfaces with 281 normal samples into sub-populations, and interesting results are obtained.
