[ITK] [ITK-users] Undefined references to methods of template classes

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Francisco,

Great to hear about the progress!

The itk::BinaryImageToShapeLabelMapFilter  requires a binary input,
which should have an integer pixel type, like unsigned char or
unsigned short.  It is important to set the BackgroundValue and
ForegroundValue [1] to get this filter to work correctly.

HTH,
Matt
