[Python] ITK ERROR: MaskNegatedImageFilter(000001D7CB479830): Inputs do not occupy the same...

I used a code to compute the 95HD and DSC to assess the segmentaion accuracy of medical image, and the following problem appered "ITK ERROR: MaskNegatedImageFilter(000001D7CB479830): Inputs do not occupy the same physical space!". I was wondeirng whether I should do resampling? does that mean the two segmentaions have to have same physical space?

Here is the code:

Returns:

binary_contour_filter = sitk.BinaryContourImageFilter()

a_contour, useImageSpacing=True, squaredDistance=False

dist_to_b = sitk.SignedMaurerDistanceMap(
b_contour, useImageSpacing=True, squaredDistance=False

b_intersection = sitk.GetArrayFromImage(b_contour * (dist_to_a <= tau)).sum()
a_intersection = sitk.GetArrayFromImage(a_contour * (dist_to_b <= tau)).sum()

surface_sum = (
sitk.GetArrayFromImage(a_contour).sum()
+ sitk.GetArrayFromImage(b_contour).sum()
)

return (b_intersection + a_intersection) / surface_sum
