Christian, This is going back a few weeks ago. I am attempting to identify the independent components in a group of images. This is the error I get after using avwmerge: Starting PCA ... An exception has been thrown Runtime error:- detected by Newmat: process fails to converge MatrixType = Diag # Rows = 2; # Cols = 2; lower BW = 0; upper BW = 0 Trace: Evalue(tql2). Does this imply that the independent components cannot be identified?
