[Insight-users] simple ITK App keeps crashing - what do I do wrong?

[Henning Meyer]

Hello Luis,

I think I got it so far. My problem seems to be solved. Still I'm
unsure about two points:

As far as I understood an image is owned by the filter it was produces from.
Can I pass an Image::Pointer res = filter.GetOutput() as result of my
function and destroy the filter afterwards? res should then be the
owner of the image, shouldn't it?

Why not? Why can't my image know it has to be produced from an filter.
The filter could be stored in an SmartPointer inside the image. This
seems inconsequent to me.
