Hi all,<br><br>I have montages of sizes<b> 4GB to 16 GB</b> to work on.Whenever I declare a 4GB montage as a float image and apply<b> Laplacian of Gaussian at different scales</b>, it would end up consuming 50GB of my RAM space for each scale.(I used ITK smart pointers so the maximum consumption is 50GB). I think the laplacian of gaussian is atleast making 4 copies of my montage since it is float a 4GB image will end up consuming 16GB for each copy of it.<b>I want to find local maxima points in my montage.I want to know if there is a better way to do that, considering the cost of using memory.<br>
<br></b>Thanks and regards<b><br>Karthik Uppuluri<br></b>
