[Insight-users] ImportImageFilter->ItkImage ...

[Julien Jomier]

Hi Lagaffe,

This is an issue with smart pointers.
As you probably know smart pointers delete themselves when there are not 
assigned anymore.
In your case, in myFunction(), the ImportFilter is creating a smart 
pointer as output image, but myFunction() is returning a raw pointer, 
which means that the reference count is not incremented and the output 
pointer is destroyed at the end of the myFunction() scope.
An easy fix is to make your function return a smart pointer and assign a 
smart pointer in your main.

Something like:

ImageType::Pointer myFunction()
{
...
return ImportFilter->GetOuput()
}

and in your program:

typedef int PixelType;
const int Dimension=2, Lx=7, Ly=5;
typedef itk::Image < PixelType, Dimension > ImageType;
ImageType::Pointer inputImage=myFunction(...);

Let us know if that was the problem,

Julien
