[ITK] [ITK-users] Variable Matrix Access Violiotation

Tue Sep 12 08:42:27 EDT 2017

Hello Fabian,

In your case the limitation is really the fact that you compile your
project in 32bits. Using another kind of structure will lead to the same
issue as long as it is build in 32bits. So my advice is to compile your
project (and ITK) in 64 bits. It will work then (it works on my computer).

Hope this helps,
François
