//  The vector anisotropic diffusion approach applies to color images equally
//  well. As in the vector case, each RGB component is diffused
//  independently. The following example illustrates the use of the Vector
//  curvature anisotropic diffusion filter on an image with
//  \doxygen{RGBPixel} type.

//  It is desirable to perform the computation on the RGB image using
//  \code{float} representation. However for input and output purposes
//  \code{unsigned char} RGB components are commonly used. It is necessary to
//  cast the type of color components along the pipeline before writing them
//  to a file. The \doxygen{VectorCastImageFilter} is used to achieve this
//  goal.
