[ITK-users] [ITK] CorrelationImageToImageMetricv4 returns 0 from GetValue()

[Dženan Zukić]

Hi Andrew,

you are doing so many things in a nonstandard way, starting with passing
around pointers to buffers and metadata as plain parameters, instead of
just once converting to itk::Image and then using itk::Image::Pointer to
pass the images around. Your approach is more prone to errors.

Can you provide the inputs and the main function which invokes this class
to have a runnable example? I will try to find the problem.

Regards,
Dženan
