/** \class FastMarchingImageFilter
 * \brief Solve an Eikonal equation using Fast Marching
 *
 * Fast marching solves an Eikonal equation where the speed is always
 * non-negative and depends on the position only. Starting from an 
 * initial position on the front, fast marching systematically moves the
 * front forward one grid point at a time.
 *
 * Updates are preformed using an entropy satisfy scheme where only
 * "upwind" neighborhoods are used. This implementation of Fast Marching
 * uses a std::priority_queue to locate the next proper grid position to
 * update. 
 * 
 * Fast Marching sweeps through N grid points in (N log N) steps to obtain
 * the arrival time value as the front propagates through the grid.
 *
 * Implementation of this class is based on Chapter 8 of
 * "Level Set Methods and Fast Marching Methods", J.A. Sethian,
 * Cambridge Press, Second edition, 1999.
 *
 * This class is templated over the level set image type and the speed
 * image type. The initial front is specified by two containers: one
 * containing the known points and one containing the trial
 * points.  Alive points are those that are already part of the
 * object, and trial points are considered for inclusion.
 * In order for the filter to evolve, at least some trial
 * points must be specified.  These can for instance be specified as the layer of
 * pixels around the alive points.

 * The speed function can be specified as a speed image or a
 * speed constant. The speed image is set using the method
 * SetInput(). If the speed image is NULL, a constant speed function
 * is used and is specified using method the SetSpeedConstant().
 *
 * If the speed function is constant and of value one, fast marching results
 * in an approximate distance function from the initial alive points.
 * FastMarchingImageFilter is used in the ReinitializeLevelSetImageFilter
 * object to create a signed distance function from the zero level set.
 *
 * The algorithm can be terminated early by setting an appropriate stopping
 * value. The algorithm terminates when the current arrival time being
 * processed is greater than the stopping value.
 *
 * There are two ways to specify the output image information 
 * ( LargestPossibleRegion, Spacing, Origin): (a) it is copied directly from
 * the input speed image or (b) it is specified by the user. Default values
 * are used if the user does not specify all the information.
 *
 * The output information is computed as follows.
 * If the speed image is NULL or if the OverrideOutputInformation is set to
 * true, the output information is set from user specified parameters. These 
 * parameters can be specified using methods SetOutputRegion(), SetOutputSpacing(), SetOutputDirection(),
 * and SetOutputOrigin(). Else if the speed image is not NULL, the output information
 * is copied from the input speed image.
 *
 * Possible Improvements:
 * In the current implemenation, std::priority_queue only allows 
 * taking nodes out from the front and putting nodes in from the back.
 * To update a value already on the heap, a new node is added to the heap.
 * The defunct old node is left on the heap. When it is removed from the
 * top, it will be recognized as invalid and not used.
 * Future implementations can implement the heap in a different way
 * allowing the values to be updated. This will generally require 
 * some sift-up and sift-down functions and  
 * an image of back-pointers going from the image to heap in order
 * to locate the node which is to be updated.
