[Insight-users] Re: question about the example of deformablemodel1

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Lin,


       Nope,

   The vector field used in the DeformableModel1.cxx example
   *is not* equivalent to the vector fields that result from
   a deformable registration method.

   Instead, it is equivalent to the *Advection field* that you will
   use in a LevelSet method. That is, this is a field that have
   vectors pointing to the boundaries of anatomical structures in
   the image, and whose magnitued are larger when you are closer to
   these boundaries.



    Regards,



        Luis
