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.
