// Software Guide : BeginLatex
//
// In medical imaging applications, the general shape, location and
// orientation of an anatomical structure of interest is typically
// known \emph{a priori}. This information can be used to aid the
// segmentation process especially when image contrast is low or
// when the object boundary is not distinct.
//
// In \cite{Leventon2000}, Leventon \emph{et al.} extended the
// geodesic active contours method with an additional shape-influenced term in
// the driving PDE. The \doxygen{GeodesicActiveContourShapePriorLevelSetFilter}
// is a generalization of Leventon's approach and its use is illustrated
// in the following example.
//
// To support shape-guidance, the generic level set
// equation (Eqn(~\ref{eqn:LevelSetEquation})) is extended to incorporate a
// shape guidance term:
//
// \begin{equation}
// \label{eqn:ShapeInfluenceTerm}
// \xi \left(\psi^{*}(\mathbf{x}) - \psi(\mathbf{x})\right)
// \end{equation}
//
// where $\psi^{*}$ is the signed distance function of the ``best-fit'' shape
// with respect to a shape model. The new term has the effect of driving the
// contour towards the best-fit shape. The scalar $\xi$ weights the influence
// of the shape term in the overall evolution. In general, the best-fit shape
// is not known ahead of time and has to be iteratively estimated in
// conjunction with the contour evolution.
//
// As with the \doxygen{GeodesicActiveContourLevelSetImageFilter}, the
// GeodesicActiveContourShapePriorLevelSetImageFilter expects two input
// images: the first is an initial level set and the second a feature image
// that represents the image edge potential. The configuration of this
// example is quite similar to the example in
// Section~\ref{sec:GeodesicActiveContourImageFilter} and hence the description
// will focus on the new objects involved in the segmentation process as shown
// in Figure~\ref{fig:GeodesicActiveContourShapePriorCollaborationDiagram}.
//
// \begin{figure} \center
// \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{GeodesicActiveContourShapePriorCollaborationDiagram}
// \itkcaption[GeodesicActiveContourShapePriorLevelSetImageFilter collaboration
// diagram]{Collaboration diagram for the GeodesicActiveContourShapePriorLevelSetImageFilter
// applied to a segmentation task.}
// \label{fig:GeodesicActiveContourShapePriorCollaborationDiagram}
// \end{figure}
//
// The process pipeline begins with centering the input image using the
// the \doxygen{ChangeInformationImageFilter} to simplify the estimation of the pose
// of the shape, to be explained later.
// The centered image is then smoothed using non-linear diffusion to
// remove noise and the gradient magnitude is computed from the smoothed image.
// For simplicity, this example uses the \doxygen{BoundedReciprocalImageFilter}
// to produce the edge potential image.
//
// The \doxygen{FastMarchingImageFilter} creates an initial level set using three
// user specified seed positions and a initial contour radius. Three seeds are
// used in this example to facilitate the segmentation of long narrow objects
// in a smaller number of iterations.
// The output of the FastMarchingImageFilter is passed
// as the input to the GeodesicActiveContourShapePriorLevelSetImageFilter.
// At then end of the segmentation process, the output level set is passed
// to the \doxygen{BinaryThresholdImageFilter} to produce a binary mask
// representing the segmented object.
//
// The remaining objects in
// Figure~\ref{fig:GeodesicActiveContourShapePriorCollaborationDiagram}
// are used for shape modeling and estimation.
// The \doxygen{PCAShapeSignedDistanceFunction} represents a statistical
// shape model defined by a mean signed distance and the first $K$
// principal components modes; while the \doxygen{Euler2DTransform} is used
// to represent the pose of the shape. In this implementation, the
// best-fit shape estimation problem is reformulated as a minimization problem
// where the \doxygen{ShapePriorMAPCostFunction} is the cost function to
// be optimized using the \doxygen{OnePlusOneEvolutionaryOptimizer}.
//
// It should be noted that, although particular shape model, transform
// cost function, and optimizer are used in this example, the implementation
// is generic, allowing different instances of these components to be
// plugged in. This flexibility allows a user to tailor the behavior of the
// segmentation process to suit the circumstances of the targeted application.
//
// Let's start the example by including the headers of the new filters
// involved in the segmentation.

  // A sigma value of $1.0$ was used to compute the image gradient and the
  // propagation and shape prior scaling are respectively set to $0.5$ and $0.02$.
  // An initial level set was created by placing one seed point in the
  // rostrum $(60,102)$, one in the splenium $(120, 85)$ and one
  // centrally in the body $(88,83)$ of the corpus callosum with
  // an initial radius of $6$ pixels at each seed position.
  // The best-fit shape was initially placed with a translation of
  // $(10,0)$mm so that it roughly overlapped
  // the corpus callosum in the image as shown in
  // Figure~\ref{fig:GeodesicActiveContourShapePriorImageFilterOutput} (right).
  //
  //
  // From Figure~\ref{fig:GeodesicActiveContourShapePriorImageFilterOutput2} it can be
  // observed that without
  // shape guidance (left), segmentation using geodesic active contour leaks in the
  // regions where the corpus callosum blends into the surrounding brain tissues. With
  // shape guidance (center), the segmentation is constrained by the global shape model
  // to prevent leaking.
  //
  // The final best-fit shape parameters after the segmentation process is:
  //
  // \begin{verbatim}
  // Parameters: [-0.384988, -0.578738, 0.557793, 0.275202, 16.9992, 4.73473]
  // \end{verbatim}
  //
  // and is shown in
  // Figure~\ref{fig:GeodesicActiveContourShapePriorImageFilterOutput2} (right). Note that a
  // $0.28$ radian ($15.8$ degree) rotation has been introduced to match the model to
  // the corpus callosum in the image. Additionally, a negative weight for the first
  // mode shrinks the size relative to the mean shape. A negative weight for the second mode
  // shifts the mass to splenium, and a positive weight for the third mode
  // increases the curvature. It can also be observed that the final segmentation is
  // a combination of the best-fit shape with additional local deformation. The combination
  // of both global and local shape allows the segmentation to capture fine details not represented
  // in the shape model.
