Mat, thank you very much for your answer, my code seems to be working and
it looks like this:
I had some additional problems with the itk::DisplacementFieldTransform
class when trying to use it with floats but things seem to be working with
doubles. I do not include yet the inversion of the deformation fields that
Brian suggested but I am pretty confident I can add it without many more
problems.
I am including the code in case anyone is interested, please note that it
is in no way tested (I will update it if I find major problems with it).
Thanks for your help.
