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

[Grothausmann, Roman Dr.]

Hi Kris,


Many thanks for Your quick reply. Looking at
itkPatchBasedDenoisingImageFilter.hxx and according to 
itkPatchBasedDenoisingImageFilterTest.cxx
I exchanged itkImage of VariableLengthVector with itkVectorImage 
(https://github.com/romangrothausmann/ITK-CLIs/commit/87281e2bad89e1d1d3303ac6605b3c43963026d3)
but the error stays the same.

I think my problem arises from VectorGradientMagnitudeImageFilter not being able 
to cope with VariableLengthVector which is also used by VectorImage. So I guess 
I would either have to modify VectorGradientMagnitudeImageFilter to handle 
VariableLengthVector or create itkImage of Vector using another template level 
to set fixed NumberOfComponentsPerPixel as needed.

What does it depend on whether a Filter can handle VariableLengthVector or just 
Vector?

Many thanks for Your help.
Roman
