In the paper

Cuevas, F., Porcu, E., Vallejos, R. (2013). Study of spatial relationships between two sets of variables: A nonparametric approach.
Journal of Nonparametric Statistics 25, 695-714.

we developed a very novel tool to visualize the spatial association between two spatial processes or images. This tool is called codispersion map and the computational implementation has been done as a library in R. An introductory paper in this respect is under review

Vallejos, R., Osorio, F., Cuevas, F. (2013). SpatialPack-An R Package for computing spatial association between two processes (submitted).
