[ITK] [ITK-users] Convert image, part 2

[Tammy Diprima]

I've just been told that I'm not allowed to convert the 32U to 16U because
of risk of distortion.

I figured it *should* be ok, since it's one channel.

So what I've been tasked to do, is iterate through the pixels and copy each
to a new cv::Mat_<int> image.  And I'm doing this conversion in order to
pass this ITK image as a parameter to someone else's program that takes an
opencv image as a parameter.

Right now I'm an image-processing noobie, so I'd like your option.  *Do* I
have to worry about distortion in this case?  How can I prove it?  It's
grayscale.  *Is* the pixel iteration a good idea?  I don't know why we're
using 32U for grayscale in the first place; there's no way we're going to
have more than 255 objects...

Thanks,
Tammy
