[Insight-users] Connected component statistics

[Gaetan Lehmann]

Hi,

I'm also interested in basic measures such as volume, center of gravity  
and bounding box.
I think to work on it this week, so it should be great to define where to  
implement methods to get those informations.

RelabelComponentImageFilter is already able to give volume, so it should  
be a good place to add other very simple informations like center of  
gravity and bounding box.
It don't seem to be the good place for more complex info such as  
perimeter/surface... perhap's ImageMaskSpatialObject is a better place ?

WDYT ?
