[ITK-users] LabelGeometryImageFilter: empty output of GetOrientedLabelImage and GetOrientedIntensityImage

Hello,

I have a much improved version of the algorithm to compute oriented bounding boxes here:

https://github.com/blowekamp/itkOBBLabelMap

It is correctly accounts for the image's physical spacing, origin, and direction cosines, significantly faster,  and more memory efficient. Here would be a close to turn-key test/example for this task:

HTH,
Brad
