[ITK] [ITK-users] Region of two labelObjects

[Pol Monsó Purtí]

Hello Gaëtan,

Yes I agree, Thinking about it later I also reached the same conclusion
that a filter that changes the regions internally without warning could be
a pitfall.

The RegionFromReferenceLabelMapFilter might actually work for me given that
I do have the original ROI region and roi image, but I can implement the
ComputeBoundingBox() function anyway, it's cleaner if I don't use the
original ROI.

What's the workflow for submitting code? Fork the itk repository, add the
method and PR or something else?

If you'd rather have a filter that does this, I unfortunatelly won't have
the time to do it this month (and maybe next)...

Cheers,

Pol
