[Insight-users] Image mapper base

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Gavin,
	You are right there is a missing class: itkImageToValueFilter

	During that time you can take advantage of:

http://www.itk.org/Doxygen/html/classitk_1_1MinimumMaximumImageFilter.html

It will show you how to write such an image to value filter.
