Hello all,

I am having problems to parameterization using SPHARM-MAT. The problem persists with any data I choose, so I assume is some problem due to my lack of experience using the program. This is the command messages I get when running the exact same experiment than the one contained in the SPHARM-MAT documentation pdf, section 3.2.1., page 20.

ParamCALD

Any feedback on the matter will be really appreciated!~
Thanks in advance,

Dear Beatriz,

Thanks for your post. I am copying the discussion between you and Sungeun here, in case anyone else has a similar problem. If the LocalSmoothing executable is incompatible with your OS, you need to compile “LocalSmoothing.c” located in “C_sources” directory and copy the mex file to SPHAR-MAT root directory.

The following link contains the information about how to compile “LocalSmoothing.c” on Linux
http://imaging.indyrad.iupui.edu/project...
and it is very easy and you can issue a command on the Matlab command windows:
mex LocalSmoothing.c -lmwlapack -lmwblas

Thanks,

Li
