/** \class RegionGrowImageFilter
* \brief Base class for RegionGrowImageFilter object
*
* itkRegionGrowImageFilter is the base class for the
* RegionGrowImageFilter objects. It provides
* the basic function definitons that are inherent to a
* RegionGrowImageFilter objects.
* It is templated over the type of input and output image.
*
* This object defines the interface for those algorithm that perform
* feature/object segmentation by merging regions (parts of the image) that
* are similar in nature based on some metric. As a result parts of the image
* which belong to the same object gets merged and the region grows.
*
* As an example regarding using this class to implementation of advanced
* region growing algorithm, itkRegionGrowImageFilterKLM class has been
* derived from this class. The virtual function ApplyRegionGrowImageFilter()
* provides the interface to the outside world to extend/enhance the scope of
* the current algorithm or write other region growing algorithms. The
* function MergeRegions is interface for the operation that merges two
* regions.
*
* The local variable GridSize is used to define
* the initial small regions that the image is fragmented (atomic
* regions) into. For an 12 x 12 input image, GridSize set equal
* to [3, 3] will result in 16 initial regions. The default values are
* set equal to 2.
* The user can sets the number of desired regions via the m_MaxNumRegions
* parameter and the algorithm tries to perform region merging until there
* are only m_MaxNumRegions. If m_MaxNumRegions is more than the number of
* initial blocks, no region merging occurs.
*
* These blocks are important as the labels associated with these blocks keep
* changing during the region growing process and at the end, while generating
* the results, each of these atomic blocks are revisited and the blocks
* with same labels are considered to belong to the same region.
*
* This object supports data handling of multiband images. The object
* accepts images in vector format, where each pixel is a vector and each
* element of the vector corresponds to an entry from 1 particular band of
* a multiband dataset. The input to this object is assumed to be a multiband
* vector image, and the output is defined by specific algorithm
* implementation. The second template parameter is used to generate the
* the output image and can be modified according the algorithm
* specific output type.
*
* We expect the user to provide the input to the routine in vector format.
* A single band image is treated as a vector image with a single element
* for every vector.
