Some deformation demons methods

One of the most used recently method for the deformable registration is demons method. In this article, I show some results of using demons method implemented in the Itk 4.0.

I've used the source code provided by Tom Vercauteren at the following link.

I changed some codes to migrate to Itk 4.0.
This is the configuration of command that I run.

..\DeformableRegistrationDiffeomorphicDemons.exe -f ..\fixedImage.mha -m ..\movingImage.mha -o deformImage.mha -O displacementImage.mha -i 40x40x32x32 -t 0 -s 0.3 -g 0.3 -l 0.2 -a 0 -e 0 -d 1 

And here the result that I obtained.
Fixed image and moving image:

Deformable registration result with three methods of Demons : Diffeomorphic, Demons basic for Itk, Demons by Thirion.

And this is the squared difference images between the deformed image and fixed image.
