I do a lot of brain image segmentation in my research using multiatlas image segmentation, which involves diffeomorphic image registration from multiple labeled atlases...but the amount of curling in on itself of these layered sheets seems a daunting problem for a fully automated pipeline.

People spent many many decades laboriously putting tiny little dead sea scroll fragments back together like the world's worst jigsaw puzzle. I think that shows if there is a way to do this that takes a lot of tedious manual labor over many decades, there are people who will be willing to do that. They just need the tools to do the work without destroying the scrolls.
It seems quite possible that the solution isn't fully automated. N is in the hundreds. And modern AI does, in fact, involve quite a lot of hand crafted data...
