Josh, Bill L,

It looks like you two wrote most of this filter.  Can you please take a 
look at this compilation issue and the numerical implications of the code?

Thanks,
-Brad

It looks like you are instantiating the filter with unsigned short image
data.  The line containing the error looks like this in the template
instantiation:

unsigned short v1, v2;
...
vcl_sqrt(v1/v2);

This will not work very well for unsigned short data.  Given that the
filter is doing these kinds of calculations, I suggest you convert the
image to float or double for now.  I'll bring up this problem with the
developers to see about fixing the implementation to convert to a
floating point type for these calculations regardless of the pixel type.
