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

// It is desirable to perform the computation on the RGB image using

// \code{unsigned char} RGB components are commonly used. It is necessary to
// cast the type of color components in the pipeline before writing them to
// a file. The \doxygen{CastImageFilter} is used to achieve this goal.
