[ITK] [ITK-users] reading images of vectors with variable length in addition to scalar, RGB, RGBA (itkVectorGradientMagnitudeImageFilter)

[Kristen Zygmunt]

Hi Roman,
    You can also take a look at the Patch Based Denoising Filter that was designed to work with both VectorImage and Image types.  For example, the DispatchedMinMax and DispatchedArrayMinMax methods in Modules/Filtering/Denoising/itkPatchBasedDenoisingImageFilter.hxx are instantiated appropriately to use the NthElementImageAdaptor as necessary to aid in calling filters for certain image types.  You should be also able to uncomment the VectorImage examples in itkPatchBasedDenoisingImageFilterTest.cxx as they will compile now.
