[Insight-developers] From [Insight-users] Addition of two DeformationFields

[Torsten Rohlfing]

Luis:

No, this question was not about simply adding the deformation fields. As 
Jim pointed out in the post to the users list that I referenced, you 
need to interpolate the second deformation field according to the first 
before you add the vectors. If you extend the idea to more than two 
deformation fields concatenated (as I am planning to do), then you get a 
chain of interpolate-and-add operations, with one interpolation for each 
additional deformation field in the chain before the "current" one.
