// The Insight Toolkit was originally motivated by a need for software
// tools to segment and register the National Library of Medicine’s
// Visible Human Project data sets. The data is freely available
// through NLM’s website [3]. The original Visible Male cryosectional
// images are non-interlaced 24-bit RGB pixels with a resolution of
// 2048x1216 pixels by 1871 slices with a physical spacing of
// approximately 0.33 mm in slice and 1.0 mm between slices. Theses
// dimensions results in about 13 gigabytes of data, which is an
// appropriate size to demonstrate streaming. The following are two
// examples of streaming which shows all three IO classes capable of
// streaming along with the two types of streaming supported by the
// writer.
//
// A coronal slice is a classic view of the Visible Male. The
// following is an example that reads the entire raw dataset and
// generates that classic image:

  // This example creates a RawImageIO and ImageSeriesReader for each
  // color channel in the data. Notice that there are no special methods
  // that are needed to enable streaming; it will just respond correctly
  // to requests from the pipeline. In the ComposeImageFilter, the
  // channels are composited into a single color image. Then the
  // information is updated to initialize the coronal slice region to be
  // extracted. The final filter, ImageFileWriter, writes out the file
  // as a Meta Image type, which fully supports IO streaming.
  //
  // The most interesting aspect of this example is not the filters
  // used, but how ITK’s pipeline manages its execution. The final
  // output image is 2048 by 1878 pixels. The ImageFileWriter breaks
  // this 2D image into 200 separate regions, which have the size of
  // about 2048 by 10 pixels; each region is streamed and processes
  // through the pipeline. The writer makes 200 calls to its ImageIO
  // object to write the individual regions. The extractor converts this
  // 2D region into a 3D region of 2048 by 1 by 10 pixels, which is
  // propagated to the ImageSeriesReader. Then the reader reads the
  // entire slice, but only copies the requested sub-region to its
  // output. This pipeline is so efficient because very little data is
  // actually processed at any one stage of the pipeline due to
  // streaming IO.
