Hi Thomas
Can you check the input images? I’ve seen this happen when e.g. the skull stripping failed and the images are blank
Cheers Bruce

External Email - Use Caution Hello FreeSurfer Developers,
I'm attempting to refine pial surfaces with T2/FLAIR images as described here (MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "secure-web.cisco.com" claiming to be https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/recon-all#UsingT2orFLAIRdatatoimpr...https://secure-web.cisco.com/1AH1BRBqXr5DfxhMfqvYMi7G1gSsW58-k5PUb3k7qBej25TzL4oJZblrUDWJjsLLjcoAP23YnnERxvXNWVp31VdS7Wz1q7Z9IGsbTfDYOtXS_IS2-NhyuSgcWRvjVEcIp8Ze5ad_mIfUdHi9dSOWXrSa2ApGwk2xa-45widx5O0YJ8QeYGP7QyiMbju7dhcO71PJoQVT13M2wFZLho8E4k-PiWY01aJ40WpQIqe-_MMmdpqn9-O7dJCNKFLcHeCc3vNvfCC-KBkMRhTOSH4vTaK_dzQspzQmlaXnfywC9zdXl9bVc-EaHeonBR_hFj6XSXZgCPXHCzOr4wFvMmGZaJg/https%3A%2F%2Fsurfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu%2Ffswiki%2Frecon-all%23UsingT2orFLAIRdatatoimprovepialsurfaces). For some of my subjects I get the following error during the mris_place_surface subprocess when I run recon-all:
error: MRIhistogramLabelRegion: constant image
error: MRIhistogramLabelRegion: constant image
Segmentation fault
The error occurs independent of whether I process T1 and T2 images together with -all or if I run only -autorecon3 with the T2 or FLAIR images added.
I've searched the list and while similar errors have been reported, no solutions have been proposed. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this one?
