Thanks Vivien!
That's right, the 'deformation' in this case is actually the translation of the lower ball, and I think that both algorithms caught this since the there is no much vectors around the upper ball.
I actually also tried Demons and BSpline with another phantom, and the motion is closer to a local deformation,
Demons:

B-Spline:

While when I look at them now, I start to feel that maybe BSpline got the motion right, will try to assess the accuracy.
For Demons, it's not completely unacceptable for the single ball (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1906263/squash_demons.gif); but for the translation motion, it just couldn't work it out (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1906263/golf_demons.gif). Is it because of the nature of Demons that prevents it from working for translation?
Thanks a lot for your help!

In your image you have a background which is not moving. It is in
contradiction with the image registration that tries to find a smooth
vector field on the whole image. In your case your transformation is
locally a translation so you should try to find a translation on a
masked image that isolate your object from your background. >Another question regarding visualizing vector fields in Paraview: it >seems that Paraview display PNG (images) and VTK (vector field, after >'scalars_X*iHat+scalars_Y*jHat' and glyph) in different Y orientations. >I haven't figured out how to correctly overlay them, but just tried to >flip and shift the vector field in Paraview, so the vector field in the >above results might not be quite aligned with the images.
