Special Issue of CVIU on

Nonrigid Image Registration

Objective

This special issue will address the problem of registering images of deformable scenes acquired from different viewpoints and/or different times. Papers are sought that advance the theoretical foundations of this important problem or present new applications in which nonrigid registration plays a major role. Of particular interest in the context of the special issue are innovative methods for registering two or more images or objects subject to nonlinear geometric differences, as well as medical, industrial, and remote sensing applications where nonrigid registration is required to fuse multimodal data, detect scene change, compute image flow, estimate motion, or recognize objects.
