[Insight-users] Mattes MI: "Too many samples map outside..."

[Minjie Wu]

Hi,

I met the same error when using Mattes MI: "Too many samples map outside...".

In my case, I resaved both analyze images (moving image and target
image) using the same the software: ImageJ. Then the error
disappeared.

I think the error might due to the endianness of the input images. One
image is with big endian format, the other one is little endian
format.

You may want to try to resave the images using same software, and see
if this remove the error message.

Good luck,
Minjie
