[Insight-users] Concept checking warnings when using BinaryThinningImageFilter with unsigned int image

[Bill Lorensen]

David,

Many of the concept checks are too aggressive. A massive concept check pass
was made through itk many years ago. In general, some sort  of checking
needs to be applied in those filters. The challenge is to understand the
algorithm and apply the minimum checks that make sense.
