[ITK] [ITK-users] CorrelationImageToImageMetricv4 returns 0 from GetValue()

[Andrew Harris]

Sorry again for the delay, we determined the images we were creating were
too big so we created a smaller phantom image, attached.  In addition,
there is a main() function in CorrelationTest.cpp that runs the correlation
and outputs it to  a file called observer.txt, and I have included the most
up-to-date versions of my class and header files.  The function is
expecting the phantom to exist in a folder at c:/Scans/Phantom.  Let me
know if you need further info, and thanks again for your help.​
