SegmentationLevelSetFunction is a subclass of the generic LevelSetFunction.: It useful for segmentations based on intensity values in an image. It works by constructing a speed term (feature image) with positive values inside an intensity window (between a low and high threshold) and negative values outside that intensity window. The evolving level set front will lock onto regions that are at the edges of the intensity window.

: Image is thresholded pixel by pixel using threshold according to the following formula.

: $f(x) = T - MahalanobisDistance(x)$
