[Insight-users] Memory leak in an edge detection filter

[Massimo Esposito]

Dear All,

I use an edge detection filter to preprocess medical images before of
segmentation.

Although the filter works, a huge memory leak is detected at line 247 of the
filter source code set at the queue of the mail text.

Could someone help me to overcome that problem?

Thank you in advance

Massimo
