//
// The use of the \doxygen{ShapeDetectionLevelSetImageFilter} is illustrated
// in the following example. The implementation of this filter in ITK is
// based on the paper by Malladi et al \cite{Malladi1995}. In this
// implementation, the governing differential equation has an additional
// curvature-based term. This term acts as a smoothing term where areas of
// high curvature, assumed to be due to noise, are smoothed out. Scaling
// parameters are used to control the tradeoff between the expansion term and
// the smoothing term. One consequence of this additional curvature term is
// that the fast marching algorithm is no longer applicable, because the
// contour is no longer guaranteed to always be expanding. Instead, the level
// set function is updated iteratively.
//
// The ShapeDetectionLevelSetImageFilter expects two inputs,
// the first being an initial Level Set in the form of an
// \doxygen{Image}, and the second being a feature image. For this algorithm,
// the feature image is an edge potential image that basically
// follows the same rules applicable to the speed image used for the
// FastMarchingImageFilter discussed in
// Section~\ref{sec:FastMarchingImageFilter}.
//
// In this example we use an FastMarchingImageFilter to produce the initial
// level set as the distance function to a set of user-provided seeds. The
// FastMarchingImageFilter is run with a constant speed value which enables
// us to employ this filter as a distance map calculator.

// \label{fig:ShapeDetectionCollaborationDiagram}
// \end{figure}
//
// Figure~\ref{fig:ShapeDetectionCollaborationDiagram} shows the major
// components involved in the application of the
// ShapeDetectionLevelSetImageFilter to a segmentation task. The first stage
// involves smoothing using the
// \doxygen{CurvatureAnisotropicDiffusionImageFilter}. The smoothed image is
// passed as the input for the
// \doxygen{GradientMagnitudeRecursiveGaussianImageFilter} and then to the
// \doxygen{SigmoidImageFilter} in order to produce the edge potential image.
// A set of user-provided seeds is passed to an FastMarchingImageFilter in
// order to compute the distance map. A constant value is subtracted from
// this map in order to obtain a level set in which the \emph{zero set}
// represents the initial contour. This level set is also passed as input to
// the ShapeDetectionLevelSetImageFilter.
//
// Finally, the level set at the output of the
// ShapeDetectionLevelSetImageFilter is passed to an
// BinaryThresholdImageFilter in order to produce a binary mask representing
// the segmented object.

// one and let the curvature scaling be an input argument. The larger the
// the curvature scaling parameter the smoother the resulting
// segmentation. However, the curvature scaling parameter should not be
// set too large, as it will draw the contour away from the shape

// Once activated, the level set evolution will stop if the convergence
// criteria or the maximum number of iterations is reached. The
// convergence criteria are defined in terms of the root mean squared
// (RMS) change in the level set function. The evolution is said to have
// converged if the RMS change is below a user-specified threshold. In a
// real application, it is desirable to couple the evolution of the zero
// set to a visualization module, allowing the user to follow the
// evolution of the zero set. With this feedback, the user may decide when
// to stop the algorithm before the zero set leaks through the regions of
// low gradient in the contour of the anatomical structure to be

// which is finally used as the edge potential for the
// ShapeDetectionLevelSetImageFilter.
//
// Notice that in Figure~\ref{fig:ShapeDetectionLevelSetFilterOutput2} the
// segmented shapes are rounder than in
// Figure~\ref{fig:FastMarchingImageFilterOutput2} due to the effects of the
// curvature term in the driving equation. As with the previous example,
// segmentation of the gray matter is still problematic.

// A larger number of iterations is reguired for segmenting large

// FastMarchingImageFilter. This will generate an initial level
// set much closer in shape to the object to be segmented and hence
// require fewer iterations to fill and reach the edges of the anatomical
// structure.
