[Insight-users] How to get mean shape image instead of vector in itkActiveShapeModelCalculator

[kingaza at gmail.com]

Hi Zachary, 


Yes, I had some experiece in ASM/AAM before I use itk, and i am so
excited seeing this implementation, that i can use it in itk.
now my quesiton is how to generation a image from the shape vetcor in
itk. I have done it by using excel, but the work is so weary.
