hi Luis and all,
this is the code of BSplineRegistration using DICOM files
I has set all the argv parameters for debug
I am still confused whith the origin and spacing
thanks for any help

btw, it seems not support long file name. so I set fixedImage,
movingImage as Image1 and Image2.

// This example illustrates the use of the \doxygen{BSplineDeformableTransform}
// class for performing registration of two $2D$ images. The example code is
// for the most part identical to the code presented in
// Section~\ref{sec:RigidRegistrationIn2D}.  The major difference is that this
// example we replace the Transform for a more generic one endowed with a large
// number of degrees of freedom. Due to the large number of parameters, we will
// also replace the simple steepest descent optimizer with the
// \doxygen{LBFGSOptimizer}.
