Ok thank you @matt.mccormick, but in that case, do you know what is the purpose of Octree object in Itk?

And another question, do you know where could I find alternatives to distance search in ITK library? I thought in Octree or Brute force, but I do not know if ITK has a specific section or set of objects to solve this problem.

Thank you again!
