[Insight-users] Regarding the Conductance value for the Anisotropic Diffusion function

[Luis Ibanez]

HI Vijay,


Please read the ITK Software Guide


     http://www.itk.org/ItkSoftwareGuide.pdf


in particular section: 6.5.2, "Edge Preservingg Smoothing",
pdf-page 173.

The recomended default values for the Conductancer parameter
are in the range

                       [1.0 : 3.0]

(this is just a guideline for initial good values).


You don't want to set the conductance parameter to negative values,
since even if the code manage to swallow a negative value, that will
simply produce "noise enhancement" instead of image smoothing.



Regards,


    Luis
