Hi Fred

we have done some of this, but the tools for doing so aren't documnted or
streamlined like recon-all. Localizing is a bit dicey as the apparent
localization may have more to do with the regularization in your 3D warping
than anything else. Martin Reuter has some interesting tools for
quantifying shape differences that you might be interested in.

cheers
