/** \class VectorThresholdSegmentationLevelSetImageFilter
 *    \brief Segments structures in images based on intensity values.
 *
 *   \par IMPORTANT
 *   The SegmentationLevelSetImageFilter class and the
 *   VectorThresholdSegmentationLevelSetFunction class contain additional information necessary
 *   to the full understanding of how to use this filter.
 *
 *   \par CREDITS
 *   This class was contributed to ITK by Stefan Lindenau 
 *   http://www.itk.org/pipermail/insight-users/2003-December/005969.html
 *   
 *    \par OVERVIEW
 *    This class is a level set method segmentation filter.  It constructs a
 *    speed function which is close to zero where the Mahalabonian Distance
 *    exceeds a certain threshold, effectively locking the propagating front onto those
 *    edges.  Elsewhere, the front will propagate quickly.
 *
 *    \par INPUTS
 *    This filter requires two inputs.  The first input is a seed
 *    image.  This seed image must contain an isosurface that you want to use as the
 *    seed for your segmentation.  It can be a binary, graylevel, or floating
 *    point image.  The only requirement is that it contain a closed isosurface
 *    that you will identify as the seed by setting the IsosurfaceValue parameter
 *    of the filter.  For a binary image you will want to set your isosurface
 *    value halfway between your on and off values (i.e. for 0's and 1's, use an
 *    isosurface value of 0.5).
 *
 *    \par
 *    The second input is the feature image.  This is the image from which the
 *    speed function will be calculated the feature image has to be a Vector Image.
 *    For most applications, this is the
 *    image that you want to segment. The desired isosurface in your seed image
 *    should lie within the region of your feature image that you are trying to
 *    segment. Note that this filter does no preprocessing of the feature image
 *    before thresholding.
 *
 *    \par
 *    See SegmentationLevelSetImageFilter for more information on Inputs.
 *
 *    \par OUTPUTS
 *    The filter outputs a single, scalar, real-valued image.
 *    Positive values in the output image are inside the segmentated region
 *    and negative values in the image are outside of the inside region.  The
 *    zero crossings of the image correspond to the position of the level set
 *    front.
 *
 *   \par
 *   See SparseFieldLevelSetImageFilter and
 *   SegmentationLevelSetImageFilter for more information.
 *
 *   \par PARAMETERS
 *   In addition to parameters described in SegmentationLevelSetImageFilter,
 *   this filter adds the Threshold, the Mean and the Covariance.  See
 *   VectorThresholdSegmentationLevelSetFunction for a description of how this value
 *   affect the segmentation.
