// The \doxygen{SigmoidImageFilter} is commonly used as an intensity
// transform. It maps a specific range of intensity values into a new
// intensity range by making a very smooth and continuous transition in the
// borders of the range. Sigmoids are widely used as a mechanism for focusing
// attention on a particular set of values and progressively attenuating the
// values outside that range. In order to extend the flexibility of the
// Sigmoid filter, its implementation in ITK includes four parameters that can
// be tuned to select its input and output intensity ranges. The following
// equation represents the Sigmoid intensity transformation, applied
// pixel-wise.
//
// \begin{equation}
// I' = (Max-Min)\cdot \frac{1}{\left(1+e^{-\left(\frac{ I - \beta }{\alpha } \right)} \right)} + Min
// \end{equation}
//
// In the equation above, $I$ is the intensity of the input pixel, $I'$ the
// intensity of the output pixel, $Min,Max$ are the minimum and maximum values
// of the output image, $\alpha$ defines the width of the input intensity
// range, and $\beta$ defines the intensity around which the range is
// centered. Figure~\ref{fig:SigmoidParameters} illustrates the significance
// of each parameter.

// Figure~\ref{fig:SigmoidImageFilterOutput} illustrates the effect of this
// filter on a slice of MRI brain image using the following parameters.
//
// \begin{itemize}
// \item Minimum = 10
// \item Maximum = 240
// \item $\alpha$ = 10
// \item $\beta$ = 170
// \end{itemize}
//
// As can be seen from the figure, the intensities of the white matter
// were expanded in their dynamic range, while intensity values lower than
// $\beta - 3 \alpha$ and higher than $\beta + 3\alpha$ became progressively
// mapped to the minimum and maximum output values. This is the way in which
// a Sigmoid can be used for performing smooth intensity windowing.
//
// Note that both $\alpha$ and $\beta$ can be positive and negative. A
// negative $\alpha$ will have the effect of \emph{negating} the image. This
// is illustrated on the left side of Figure~\ref{fig:SigmoidParameters}. An
// application of the Sigmoid filter as preprocessing for segmentation is
// presented in Section~\ref{sec:FastMarchingImageFilter}.
//
// Sigmoid curves are common in the natural world. They represent the
// plot of sensitivity to a stimulus. They are also the integral curve of
// the Gaussian and, therefore, appear naturally as the response to signals
// whose distribution is Gaussian.
