A translation in the spatial domain is a linear phase shift in the Fourier domain.<br>
By the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_Fourier_transform#Shift_theorem Fourier shift theorem], a translation in the spatial domain is a linear phase shift in the Fourier domain.<br>
Hence, if you have two images with only a translation, you can identify the translation by estimating the phase shift.
