[ITK] [ITK-users] Setting tolerance is ignored

[Chr. Rossmanith]

Hi,

I have two images with slightly differing image origins:

InputImage Origin: [-7.9896713e+01, -7.0397179e+01, 0.0000000e+00]
InputImage_1 Origin: [-7.9896706e+01, -7.0397186e+01, 0.0000000e+00]

which are used as input for MaskImageFilter. Processing fails with the 
error "Inputs do not occupy the same physical space!" and tolerance 
being reported as 4.6875000e-07 even if I set it to 0.001 by 
filter->SetGlobalDefaultCoordinateTolerance( 0.001 ).

If itkImageToImageFilter would call 
GetGlobalDefaultCoordinateTolerance() instead of using 
this->m_CoordinateTolerance in VerifyInputInformation() the user defined 
tolerance is used.

Is this a bug or is the current behaviour intended?

Regards,
Christina Rossmanith

     }

   return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
