// This example shows how to use the KMeans model for classifying the pixel of
// a scalar image.
//
// The \subdoxygen{Statistics}{ScalarImageKmeansImageFilter} is used for taking
// a scalar image and applying the K-Means algorithm in order to define classes
// that represents statistical distributions of intensity values in the pixels.
// The classes are then used in this filter for generating a labeled image where
// every pixel is assigned to one of the classes.

// In general the classification will produce as output an image whose pixel
// values are integers associated to the labels of the classes. Since typically
// these integers will be generated in order (0,1,2,...N), the output image
// will tend to look very dark when displayed with naive viewers. It is
// therefore convenient to have the option of spreading the label values over
// the dynamic range of the output image pixel type. When this is done, the
// dynamic range of the pixels is divided by the number of classes in order to
// define the increment between labels. For example, an output image of 8 bits
// will have a dynamic range of [0:256], and when it is used for holding four
// classes, the non-contiguous labels will be (0,64,128,192). The selection of
// the mode to use is done with the method \code{SetUseNonContiguousLabels()}.

// K-Means, the input image would be a vector image and therefore the means
// will be vectors of the same dimension as the image pixels.
