/** \class CollidingFrontsImageFilter
 *
 * \brief Selects a region of space where two independent fronts run towards
 * each other.
 *
 * The filter can be used to quickly segment anatomical structures (e.g. for
 * level set initialization). 
 * 
 * The filter uses two instances of FastMarchingUpwindGradientImageFilter to
 * compute the gradients of arrival times of two wavefronts propagating from
 * two sets of seeds. The input of the filter  is used as the speed of the two
 * wavefronts. The output is the dot product between the two gradient vector
 * fields.
 *
 * The filter works on the following basic idea. In the regions where the dot
 * product between the two gradient fields is negative, the two fronts
 * propagate in opposite directions. In the regions where the dot product is
 * positive, the two fronts propagate in the same direction.  This can be used
 * to extract the region of space between two sets of points.
 * 
 * If StopOnTargets is On, then each front will stop as soon as all seeds of
 * the other front have been reached. This can markedly speed up the execution 
 * of the filter, since wave propagation does not take place on the complete
 * image. 
 *
 * Optionally, a connectivity criterion can be applied to the resulting dot
 * product image. In this case, the only negative region in the output image is
 * the one connected to the seeds.
 *
