/** \class LabelVotingImageFilter
*
* \brief This filter performs pixelwise voting among an arbitrary number
* of input images, where each of them represents a segmentation of the same
* scene (i.e., image).
*
* Label voting is a simple method of classifier combination applied to
* image segmentation. Typically, the accuracy of the combined segmentation
* exceeds the accuracy of any of the input segmentations. Voting is therefore
* commonly used as a way of boosting segmentation performance.
*
* The use of label voting for combination of multiple segmentations is
* described in
*
* T. Rohlfing and C. R. Maurer, Jr., "Multi-classifier framework for
* atlas-based image segmentation," Pattern Recognition Letters, 2005.
*
* \par INPUTS
* All input volumes to this filter must be segmentations of an image,
* that is, they must have discrete pixel values where each value represents
* a different segmented object.
*
* Input volumes must all contain the same size RequestedRegions. Not all
* input images must contain all possible labels, but all label values must
* have the same meaning in all images.
*
* \par OUTPUTS
* The voting filter produces a single output volume. Each output pixel
* contains the label that occurred most often among the labels assigned to
* this pixel in all the input volumes, that is, the label that received the
* maximum number of "votes" from the input pixels.. If the maximum number of
* votes is not unique, i.e., if more than one label have a maximum number of
* votes, an "undecided" label is assigned to that output pixel.
*
* By default, the label used for undecided pixels is the maximum label value
* used in the input images plus one. Since it is possible for an image with
* 8 bit pixel values to use all 256 possible label values, it is permissible
* to combine 8 bit (i.e., byte) images into a 16 bit (i.e., short) output
* image.
*
* \par PARAMETERS
* The label used for "undecided" labels can be set using
* SetLabelForUndecidedPixels. This functionality can be unset by calling
* UnsetLabelForUndecidedPixels.
