template<typename TInputImage, typename TOutputImage>
class itk::ConfidenceConnectedImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >
Segment pixels with similar statistics using connectivity.
This filter extracts a connected set of pixels whose pixel intensities are consistent with the pixel statistics of a seed point. The mean and variance across a neighborhood (8-connected, 26-connected, etc.) are calculated for a seed point. Then pixels connected to this seed point whose values are within the confidence interval for the seed point are grouped. The width of the confidence interval is controlled by the "Multiplier" variable (the confidence interval is the mean plus or minus the "Multiplier" times the standard deviation). If the intensity variations across a segment were gaussian, a "Multiplier" setting of 2.5 would define a confidence interval wide enough to capture 99% of samples in the segment.
After this initial segmentation is calculated, the mean and variance are re-calculated. All the pixels in the previous segmentation are used to calculate the mean the standard deviation (as opposed to using the pixels in the neighborhood of the seed point). The segmentation is then recalculated using these refined estimates for the mean and variance of the pixel values. This process is repeated for the specified number of iterations. Setting the "NumberOfIterations" to zero stops the algorithm after the initial segmentation from the seed point.
NOTE: the lower and upper threshold are restricted to lie within the valid numeric limits of the input data pixel type. Also, the limits may be adjusted to contain the seed point's intensity.

template<typename TInputImage , typename TOutputImage >
Give the process object a chance to indictate that it will produce more output than it was requested to produce. For example, many imaging filters must compute the entire output at once or can only produce output in complete slices. Such filters cannot handle smaller requested regions. These filters must provide an implementation of this method, setting the output requested region to the size they will produce. By default, a process object does not modify the size of the output requested region.
Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.
template<typename TInputImage , typename TOutputImage >
What is the input requested region that is required to produce the output requested region? The base assumption for image processing filters is that the input requested region can be set to match the output requested region. If a filter requires more input (for instance a filter that uses neighborhoods needs more input than output to avoid introducing artificial boundary conditions) or less input (for instance a magnify filter) will have to override this method. In doing so, it should call its superclass' implementation as its first step. Note that imaging filters operate differently than the classes to this point in the class hierarchy. Up till now, the base assumption has been that the largest possible region will be requested of the input.
This implementation of GenerateInputRequestedRegion() only processes the inputs that are a subclass of the ImageBase<InputImageDimension>. If an input is another type of DataObject (including an Image of a different dimension), they are skipped by this method. The subclasses of ImageToImageFilter are responsible for providing an implementation of GenerateInputRequestedRegion() when there are multiple inputs of different types.
