CALL FOR PAPERS
                           Special Issue of CVIU on
                          Nonrigid Image Registration
 
 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
