[Insight-developers] integrating the new algorithms for existing filters in ITK

[Gaetan Lehmann]

Hi Luis,

The new connected component and morphological reconstruction filters done  
by Richard are ready for a long time now, and work very well.

The reconstruction filters are a lot faster, and much important, are a lot  
more efficient concerning memory usage.

The connected component is a lot more efficient, gives consecutive labels,  
and is able to label an image containing 255 objects with a 8 bit pixel  
type - the current filter nearly always fail in that case. This last  
feature let the user decrease the memory usage, which is quite important  
for me currently.

I have put those filters in my ITK tree (not in the nightly test builds  
this time :-) ) and all the tests are ok. Can I put those new algorithms  
in the cvs repository ?

Thanks,

Gaetan
