[ITK-dev] ConnectedThreshold

[Padfield, Dirk R (GE Global Research)]

Hi All,

When looking through the ITK region growing algorithms, I noticed that one of them has a different naming convention: 

itkConnectedThresholdImageFilter

itkConfidenceConnectedImageFilter
itkIsolatedConnectedImageFilter
itkNeighborhoodConnectedImageFilter
itkVectorConfidenceConnectedImageFilter

All of them end in "Connected" except "ConnectedThreshold".  I can't think of any good justification for this except that "this is how it's always been."  

What do you think about renaming it to "ThresholdConnected", and then creating a (deprecated) shell with the old name that just calls the new one?

Thanks,
Dirk
