/** \class ShapeDetectionLevelSetImageFilter
* \brief Segments structures in images based on a user supplied edge potential map.
*
* \par IMPORTANT
* The SegmentationLevelSetImageFilter class and the
* ShapeDetectionLevelSetFunction class contain additional information necessary
* to gain full understanding of how to use this filter.
*
* \par OVERVIEW
* This class is a level set method segmentation filter. An initial contour
* is propagated outwards (or inwards) until it ''sticks'' to the shape boundaries.
* This is done by using a level set speed function based on a user supplied
* edge potential map. This approach for segmentation follows that of
* Malladi et al (1995).
*
* \par INPUTS
* This filter requires two inputs. The first input is a initial level set.
* The initial level set is a real image which contains the initial contour/surface
* as the zero level set. For example, a signed distance function from the initial
* contour/surface is typically used. Note that for this algorithm the initial contour
* has to be wholly within (or wholly outside) the structure to be segmented.
*
* \par
* The second input is the feature image. For this filter, this is the edge
* potential map. General characteristics of an edge potential map is that
* it has values close to zero in regions near the edges and values close
* to one inside the shape itself. Typically, the edge potential map is compute
* from the image gradient, for example:
*
* \f[ g(I) = 1 / ( 1 + | (\nabla * G)(I)| ) \f]
* \f[ g(I) = \exp^{-|(\nabla * G)(I)|} \f]
*
* where \f$ I \f$ is image intensity and
* \f$ (\nabla * G) \f$ is the derivative of Gaussian operator.
*
* \par
* See SegmentationLevelSetImageFilter and SparseFieldLevelSetImageFilter
* for more information on Inputs.
*
* \par PARAMETERS
* The PropagationScaling parameter can be used to switch from propagation outwards
* (POSITIVE scaling parameter) versus propagating inwards (NEGATIVE scaling
* parameter).
*
* The smoothness of the resulting contour/surface can be adjusted using a combination
* of PropagationScaling and CurvatureScaling parameters. The larger the CurvatureScaling
* parameter, the smoother the resulting contour. The CurvatureScaling parameter should
* be non-negative for proper operation of this algorithm.
* To follow the implementation in Malladi et al paper,
* set the PropagtionScaling to \f$\pm 1.0\f$ and CurvatureScaling to \f$ \epsilon \f$.
*
* Note that there is no advection term for this filter. Setting the
* advection scaling will have no effect.
*
* \par OUTPUTS
* The filter outputs a single, scalar, real-valued image.
* Negative values in the output image represent the inside of the segmentated region
* and positive values in the image represent the outside of the segmented region. The
* zero crossings of the image correspond to the position of the propagating
* front.
*
* \par
* See SparseFieldLevelSetImageFilter and
* SegmentationLevelSetImageFilter for more information.
