[Insight-developers] Statistics: Mean shift mode estimator

[Jisung Kim]

Thanks Jim.

I would first try implement the mean shift mode
seeking technique using k-d tree. And then I would
implement a smoothing filter and a segmentation method
using the mode seeking technique previously
implemented.

And then I might extend the mode seeking technique
with other range search techniques. 

Does it sound OK?
