Abstract: This paper proves fixed domain asymptotic results for estimating a smooth invertible transformation $f:Bbb{R}^{2}oBbb{R}^2$ when observing the deformed random field $Zcircf$ on a dense grid in a bounded, simply connected domain $Omega$, where $Z$ is assumed to be an isotropic Gaussian random field on $Bbb{R}^2$. The estimate $hatf$ is constructed on a simply connected domain $U$, such that $overlineUsubsetOmega$ and is defined using kernel smoothed quadratic variations, Bergman projections and results from quasiconformal theory. We show, under mild assumptions on the random field $Z$ and the deformation $f$, that $hatfo{R}_{heta}f+c$ uniformly on compact subsets of $U$ with probability one as the grid spacing goes to zero, where $R_{heta}$ is an unidentifiable rotation and $c$ is an unidentifiable translation.
