[ITK] [ITK-users] vnl matrix to numpy array gives random numbers

[Samuel Gerber]

I'd guess there is something funky going with vnl_matrix_fixed. From the
docs ( https://github.com/vxl/vxl/blob/master/core/vnl/vnl_matrix_fixed.h )
it says that the data resides on the stack. From your code snippet it is
not exactly clear to me who owns the data in fixed_matrix, probably image.
Might it be that image gets removed before you use the array view?
