[IPOL discuss] use of Eigen for PCA/SVD computation in demo blm_color_dimensional_filtering

[Pierre Moulon]

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your experiments.

It's possible that Eigen detect error on "Optimization".

I want say that they are not true error ...

One other possibility is to report the valgrind error the the Eigen
developement team in order to isolate potential problem that they could fix
;)

Regards,
Pierre
