[Insight-users] Fastest color-based segmentation ITK class

Ok, now I better know my aim: the matter is that I have an Analyze image 
already "labelled" with a kind of K-means Classifier filter, and I need 
to provide a function to let the users extract all and only the voxels 
labelled with a certain intensity value (from 1 to 106 or so). Shall I 
use an Iterator or something? Maybe there's an ImageToImage family 
member which may help me?

Thanks,
Arturo
