[ITK] Vessel enhancement

[Renzo Ph]

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your answer. If you go to this page:
https://github.com/vmtk/vmtk/blob/master/vtkVmtk/Segmentation/itkHessianSmoothed3DToVesselnessMeasureImageFilter.h
 , starting at line 28 it says:

 * The vesselness measure is based on the analysis of the the Hessian
 * eigen system. The vesseleness function is a smoothed (continuous)
 * version of the Frang's vesselness function. The filter takes an
 * image of a Hessian pixels ( SymmetricSecondRankTensor pixels ) and
 * produces an enhanced image. The Hessian input image can be produced
using
 * itkHessianSmoothedRecursiveGaussianImageFilter.

I think I could use the HessianRecursiveGaussianImageFilter, but I would
like to try the HessianSmoothedRecursiveGaussianImageFilter. It may give
better results.
