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 TOPICS Nonlinear transformation functions Energy-minimizing algorithms Similarity measures Image fusion (2-D and 3-D) Object matching (2-D and 3-D) Constraints in image registration Object tracking, motion estimation, and image flow computation Medical, industrial, and remote sensing applications GUEST EDITORS Dr. Ardeshir Goshtasby, Comp Sci and Eng, Wright State Univ Dr. Lawrence Staib, Diagnostic Radiology, Yale Univ School of Medicine Dr. Colin Studholme, Radiology, Univ of CA at San Francisco Dr. Demetri Terzopoulos, Courant Institute, New York Univ PAPER SUBMISSION Papers should be prepared according to the CVIU guideline and submitted in electronic or hardcopy form.
