has a speed constant of 1 and is therefore just an approximate

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=741244213-11082006>What I don't
understand is the reason behind using Fast Marching for the seed image. Why is
it not sufficient to send in a binary image of the seed points as the seed
image? If only the seed points are required for the filter, can I not set the
stopping value for the Fast Marching to 1 and get the same result for the
segmentation?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
