[ITK-dev] New Image Filter for Submission

[Bradley Lowekamp]

David,

This filter was integrated in to ITK [1].

It handles the case where the image size is not a factor of the shrinkFactor, by truncating, and changing the image's physical extent. The doxygen page illustrates how this occurs.

Are you using the ITKv4 registration framework? I am curious how you are integrating this multi-scale feature into the framework.
