// The \doxygen{CurvatureFlowImageFilter} performs edge-preserving smoothing
// in a similar fashion to the classical anisotropic diffusion. The filter
// uses a level set formulation where the iso-intensity contours in an image
// are viewed as level sets, where pixels of a particular intensity form one
// level set. The level set function is then evolved under the control of
// a diffusion equation where the speed is proportional to the
// curvature of the contour:
//
// \begin{equation}
// I_t = \kappa |\nabla I|
// \end{equation}
//
// where $ \kappa $ is the curvature.
//
// Areas of high curvature will diffuse faster than areas of low curvature.
// Hence, small jagged noise artifacts will disappear quickly, while large
// scale interfaces will be slow to evolve, thereby preserving sharp
// boundaries between objects. However, it should be noted that although the
// evolution at the boundary is slow, some diffusion will still occur. Thus,
// continual application of this curvature flow scheme will eventually
// result in the removal of information as each contour shrinks to a point
// and disappears.
