/** \class SimpleFuzzyConnectednessScalarImageFilter
 * \brief Perform segmentation on grayscale images using method of fuzzy connectedness.
 * 
 * Perform the segmentation for a single channel (Grayscale) image 
 * via thresholding of a fuzzy connectedness scene.
 * Used as a node of the segmentation toolkit.
 * Fuzzy affinity is defined between two neighboor pixels, to reflect
 * their similarity and assign a probability that these two pixels belong to the
 * same object.  A "path" between two pixels is a list of pixels that connect
 * them, the strength of a particular path is defined as the weakest affinity
 * between the neighboor pixels that form the path. The fuzzy connectedness
 * between two pixels is defined as the strongest path strength between these
 * two pixels.  The segmentation based on fuzzy connectedness assumes that
 * the fuzzy connectedness between any two pixels from a single object 
 * is significantly higher than those for pixels belonging to different objects.  
 * A fuzzy connectedness scene is first computed for a set of input seed
 * points selected inside the object of interest.  A threshold is then
 * applied to the fuzzy scene to extract the binary segmented object.
 * The fuzzy affinity here was defined as a gaussian function of the pixel difference 
 * and the difference of the estimated object mean and the mean of the two input 
 * pixels. 
 * 
 * Input Parameters are:
 * (1) Input image in the form itkImage
 * (2) Seed points
 * (3) Threshold value.
 * 
 * Usage:
 * 1. use SetInput to import the input image object
 * 2. use SetParameter, SetSeed, SetThreshold to set the parameters
 * 3. run GenerateData() to perform the segmenation
 * 4. threshold can be set using UpdateThreshold after the segmentation, and no computation
 *    will be redo. no need to run GenerateData. But if SetThreshold was used. MakeSegmentObject()
 *    should be called to get the updated result.
 * 5. use GetOutput to obtain the resulted binary image Object.
 * 6. GetFuzzyScene gives the pointer of Image<unsigned short> for the fuzzy scene.
 *
 * Detailed information about this algorithm can be found in:
 *  "Fuzzy Connectedness and Object Definition: Theory, Algorithms,
 *    and Applications in Image Segmentation", J. Udupa and S. Samarasekera
 *  Graphical Models and Image Processing, Vol.58, No.3. pp 246-261, 1996.
