Hi Lucas,

The "edge" weight setting for this filter controls how strongly the 
surface is attracted to a Laplacian edge calculation.  Normally this term 
is set to zero and the speed is determined solely by the intensity 
threshold.  There is no advection term in this method so the advection 
weight has no influence.

See the documentation in the 
file itkThresholdSegmentationLevelSetFunction.h.

Josh.
