When you do this:

vtkSmartPointer<vtkImageData>img=
     vtkSmartPointer<vtkImageData>::New();
img=rd->GetOutput();

You are chaging where 'img' is pointing. I don't think even smart
pointers are smart enough to notice that. You need to instead do:

vtkImageData* img = rd->GetOutput();

(notice New() was never called for 'img') so that you aren't
allocating memory for the image and then stranding it.
