// This example uses \doxygen{ShapedNeighborhoodIterator} to implement a binary
// erosion algorithm. If we think of an image $I$ as a set of pixel indices,
// then erosion of $I$ by a smaller set $E$, called the \emph{structuring
// element}, is the set of all indices at locations $x$ in $I$ such that when
// $E$ is positioned at $x$, every element in $E$ is also contained in $I$.
//
// This type of algorithm is easy to implement with shaped neighborhood
// iterators because we can use the iterator itself as the structuring element
// $E$ and move it sequentially through all positions $x$. The result at $x$
// is obtained by checking values in a simple iteration loop through the
// neighborhood stencil.
//
// We need two iterators, a shaped iterator for the input image and a regular
// image iterator for writing results to the output image.
