<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hello Anton,<br>
<br>
Yes, likely you are correct. Right now your code initializes using the identity transform and as far as I remember your B-spline grid doesn't physically overlap with your images (maybe it does, but this would be by chance).<br>
What is a bit surprising is that you did not get an error with regard to too many samples outside the domain (indicating no overlap between images - so I am a bit puzzled as it means your images do overlap sufficiently).
<br>
<br>
This scenario is rare in practice and usually only happens when you are registering temporal data such as 3D volumes from a 4D CT dataset. Please see the following Jupyter Python notebook for an example on setting things up
<a href="https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/SimpleITK-Notebooks/blob/master/65_Registration_FFD.ipynb" target="_blank">
https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/SimpleITK-Notebooks/blob/master/65_Registration_FFD.ipynb</a> . It will be easy for you to
<font size="2">translate it to C#. <br>
<br>
</font><br>
<font size="2"><span dir="ltr"><font face="Arial,sans-serif" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">You will also likely need to initialize your registration by performing a registration using a global transformation (rigid/affine)
 and only then a local registration (FFD).<br>
<br>
</font></span></font></span>One last thing, there is a bug in the code in the line:</font><span dir="ltr"><font face="Arial,sans-serif" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font size="2"> R.SetMetricSamplingPercentage(30.0);<br>
<font face="Tahoma"><br>
This is a 300% sampling. The expected values are in (0.0,1.0].</font></font><br>
<font face="Tahoma" size="2"><br>
<br>
          hope this helps<br>
