// Given that \href{https://www.itk.org}{ITK} is based on the Generic
// Programming paradigm, most of the types are defined at compilation
// time. It is sometimes important to anticipate conversion between different
// types of images. The following example illustrates the common case of
// reading an image of one pixel type and writing it as a different pixel
// type. This process not only involves casting but also rescaling the image
// intensity since the dynamic range of the input and output pixel types can
// be quite different. The \doxygen{RescaleIntensityImageFilter} is used
// here to linearly rescale the image values.
//
// The first step in this example is to include the appropriate headers.

// Then, as usual, a decision should be made about the pixel type that
// should be used to represent the images. Note that when reading an
// image, this pixel type \textbf{is not necessarily} the pixel type of
// the image stored in the file. Instead, it is the type that will be
// used to store the image as soon as it is read into memory.
