// This example demostrates usage of the itk::BayesianClassifierImageFilter
// The input to this example is an itk::VectorImage that represents pixel
// memberships to 'n' classes.
//
// This image is conveniently generated by the BayesianClassifierInitializer.cxx
// example.
//
// The output of the filter is a label map (an image of unsigned char's) with
// pixel values indicating the classes they correspond to. Pixels with intensity 0
// belong to the 0th class, 1 belong to the 1st class etc.... The classification
// is done by applying a Maximum decision rule to the posterior image.
//
// The filter allows you to specify a prior image as well, (although this is not
// done in this example). The prior image, if specified will be a itk::VectorImage
// with as many components as the number of classes. The posterior image is
// then generated by multiplying the prior image with the membership image. If
// the prior image is not specified, the posterior image is the same as the
// membership image.
//
// The filter optionally accepts a smoothingIterations argument. See the
// itk::BayesianClassifierImageFilter for details on how this affects the
// classification. The philosophy is that the filter allows you to iteratively
// smooth the posteriors prior to applying the decision rule. It is hoped
// that this would yield a better classification. The user will need to plug
// in his own smoothing filter. In this case, we specify a
// GradientAnisotropicDiffusionImageFilter.
//
// Example args:
//   Memberships.mhd Labelmap.png  3
