[ITK] [ITK-users] Problems Using GPU Filters

Hi Andarahoo,

GPUBinaryThresholdImageFilter should be used with GPUImage.
Try defining:
typedef itk::GPUImage<float, 3> Image;

There is a cast in the method GPUUnaryFunctorImageFilter::GenerateData
(ancester of GPUBinaryThresholdImageFilter) which may be the cause of the
null pointer:

  typename GPUOutputImage::Pointer otPtr =  dynamic_cast< GPUOutputImage *
>( this->ProcessObject::GetOutput(0) );


Cheers,
Emiliano
