<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hello Kishore,<BR>
I am sorry for the multiple e-mails. Please let me know about any progress in the issue with the high RMS change values. Do you also face the same problem?<BR>
<BR>
Best regards,<BR>

<BR>
Hello Kishore,<BR>
<BR>
thank you for your answer. Let me clarify myself: I am currently just working on the sparse case. My problem is that I get very high values of RMS Change between<BR>
the iterations of the level set. As you said, RMS values are used for indicating the convergence of the evolution. I would expect them to be around lets say 0.1 near convergence but I get all the time very high changes during the evolution, RMS change values like 263450, meaning huge numbers.<BR>
Do you know why is this happening?<BR>
Thank you very much.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
Eleni<BR>

Hi Eleni,<BR>
<BR>
I am back at work :).<BR>
<BR>
Ok, we made several corrections to the code in the past two months and you<BR>
can download the latest CVS version. Many thanks for your feedback on using<BR>
the code. It helped us identify bugs and clean up the code further.<BR>
<BR>
Your question was regarding the RMS Error values computed by the Dense and<BR>
Sparse filters on the same image producing different values.<BR>
<BR>
The dense filter works on the levelset function defined on the whole image<BR>
domain. As a result, the RMS values are computed on changes in the function<BR>
everywhere.<BR>
<BR>
The sparse filter works only locally to the 0 level-set (hence the name<BR>
sparse). The RMS values look at a small band of pixels. Therefore, the<BR>
values in this case are at a different range.<BR>
<BR>
Irrespective, the RMS values are used for indicating the convergence of the<BR>
evolution. Is there any reason why you want them to be at the same range ?<BR>
<BR>
Best,<BR>
Kishore<BR>
