AW: AW: [Insight-users] Process Bar problem in ITK program

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Chuyan,

Thanks for letting us know about the result of your experiment.

Now we know that the Qt-ITK GUI connections are working fine.

You should now follow Yinpeng's advice and try the FuzzyConnectedness
filter with small data sets (preferably 2D) until you get familiar
with the characteristics of the method, in particular with the
heuristics for setting its parameters.

Please let us know if you find further problems,


Thanks,


   Luis
