<br>Hi Baoyun,<br><br>Yes ITK 3.10 is the release where this bug sneaked in.  :-(<br><br>You can fix it by yourself by applying the following change:<br><br><a href="http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Code/BasicFilters/itkGradientMagnitudeRecursiveGaussianImageFilter.txx?root=Insight&amp;r1=1.20&amp;r2=1.21&amp;sortby=date">http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Code/BasicFilters/itkGradientMagnitudeRecursiveGaussianImageFilter.txx?root=Insight&amp;r1=1.20&amp;r2=1.21&amp;sortby=date</a><br>
<br><br>Simply add:<br><br>

<br>--<br><br>The great advantage of Open Source software is indeed<br>that you *can* help yourself and help others by fixing <br>things on your own.     :-)<br><br><br>Please let us know if you find any problem,<br><br>   Thanks<br>

<div> </div>
<div>The ITK version I used 3.10.0. I begin to used it at the end of 2008. Do you think that will be a problem?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I will try CVS version  or the new relase, and let you know the result.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is it possible for myself to fix the problem? Or I have to be very familiar with ITK to solve the problem by myself. You know the later work can not be continues once this kind of thing happend.</div>

<div>Dear All:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When I run ITK example for fastmarching (see the attached code below), the output image resolution are changed to [1 1 1] begining at sigmoid filter output [writer3-&gt;SetFileName(&quot;../data/FastMarchingFilterOutput3.hdr&quot;)]. But my input resolution is [0.7 0.7 2.5]. The first two output files kept the origianl resolution.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>I only changed some arguments of  the expmale code and the Dimension to 3. My command aruguments are: FastMarchingImageFilter SE1.hdr out.hdr 1000 1001.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>ITK deals images on Physical space, now the spacial resolution of images are changed, so I do not how I can trust the results and cannot continue some works, eg mutiple resoltion processing</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can somebody help me to figure out this problem?  Thanks a lot.</div>
