API Fixes

ImageToCoocurrenceListAdaptor
- Create a Filter for this operation, in this class the Compute() method will be used.
- Fix the API so it is a real Adaptor : must have a GetMeasurementVector(unsigned int id) method.
There is no conceptual difference between "Generators" and "Calculators"
- They should become Filters
Estimators have similar characterstics as "Generators" and "Calculators"
- They could be converted to filters

Proposals

Sample class could be derived from a DataObject
- Subsequently, all the derived classes such as ListSampleBase, Histogram and Subsample will be part of the pipeline.
Add a typedef in the Sample class for the DataObjectDectorator of a Measurement vector
KDTree could be derived from a DataObject
ListSampleBase : to be deprecated
SampleAlgorithmBase will be derived from ProcessObject
- Subsequently, classes derived from the SampleAlgorithmBase will be process objects.
The following Calculator classes will also be derived from process object
- ScalarImageTextureCalculator
- GreyLevelCooccurrenceMatrixTextureCoefficientsCalculator
The following Generator classes will be derived from process object
- ImageToHistogramGenerator
- ImageToListGenerator
- KdTreeGenerator
- ListSampleToHistogramGenerator
- MaskedScalarImageToGreyLevelCooccurrenceMatrixGenerator
- MembershipSampleGenerator
- ScalarImageToGreyLevelCooccurrenceMatrixGenerator
- ScalarImageToHistogramGenerator
- SelectiveSubsampleGenerator
- WeightedCentroidKdTreeGenerator
The following two generator classes will remain as generators
- NormalVariateGenerator
- RandomVariateGeneratorBase
Frequency container classes ( DenseFrequencyContainer and SparseFrequencyContainer ) do not need any modification at this point unless
- there is a filter which outputs this data type ( in which case DataObjectDecorator can be defined )
