[ITK] [ITK-users] simpleitk image casting?

Tue May 20 11:34:36 EDT 2014

What I expected? Pretty much like what you describe except I was thinking the result of the gradient on a 2-d image was a 3-d image of (NxMx2) and that I would slice the array then compose it, but I didn't know that it was a vector image or which filter to use extracting the IndexSelection filter, so your answer has undoubtedly solved the problem.

However if simpleITK doesn't have a complex-to-complex FFT it won't actually handle the whole algorithm that way!
