//
// The MinMax curvature flow filter applies a variant of the curvature flow
// algorithm where diffusion is turned on or off depending of the scale of the
// noise that one wants to remove. The evolution speed is switched between
// $\min(\kappa,0)$ and $\max(\kappa,0)$ such that:
//
// \begin{equation}
// I_t = F |\nabla I|
// \end{equation}
//
// where $F$ is defined as
//
// \begin{equation}
// F = \left\{ \begin{array} {r@{\quad:\quad}l}
// \max(\kappa,0) & \mbox{Average} < Threshold \\ \min(\kappa,0) & \mbox{Average} \ge Threshold
// \end{array} \right.
// \end{equation}
//
// The $Average$ is the average intensity computed over a neighborhood of a
// user-specified radius of the pixel. The choice of the radius governs the
// scale of the noise to be removed. The $Threshold$ is calculated as the
// average of pixel intensities along the direction perpendicular to the
// gradient at the \emph{extrema} of the local neighborhood.
//
// A speed of $F = max(\kappa,0)$ will cause small dark regions in a
// predominantly light region to shrink. Conversely, a speed of $F =
// min(\kappa,0)$, will cause light regions in a predominantly dark region to
// shrink. Comparison between the neighborhood average and the threshold is
// used to select the the right speed function to use. This switching
// prevents the unwanted diffusion of the simple curvature flow method.
//
// Figure~\ref{fig:MinMaxCurvatureFlowFunctionDiagram} shows the main
// elements involved in the computation. The set of square pixels represent
// the neighborhood over which the average intensity is being computed. The
// gray pixels are those lying close to the direction perpendicular to the
// gradient. The pixels which intersect the neighborhood bounds are used to
// compute the threshold value in the equation above. The integer radius of
// the neighborhood is selected by the user.
