Problems

Small Problems

Example Name ITK Classes Demonstrated Description
Compute the gradient of a vector image GradientImageFilter How to do this?
Compute the Laplacian of an image GaussianMixtureModelComponent Input image type must be double or float (probably should smooth before this anyway, so do this type conversion in the smoothing filter?

Compute distributions of image pixels using GMM EM ExpectationMaximizationMixtureModelEstimator
Compute distributions of samples using GMM EM ExpectationMaximizationMixtureModelEstimator Someone please confirm that this outputs the mean and the variance (i.e. I used a standard deviation of 30 to create the samples and the second estimated parameter is near 1000 (~30^2) . Is this correct?)
Find edges in an image CannyEdgeDetectionImageFilter How to set a reasonable Threshold for the output edges?
Variable length vector VariableLengthVector main() works properly, but neither conversion seems to work.
