No, it expects an itk::LabelMap as the first template argument, and an itk::Image for the second.
Please read the Insight Journal article to understand itk::LabelMaps:

>> The ITK "LabelMap" class is different that the Slicer concept of a label map. The ITK LabelMap is a run-length encode image designed to map label ID to associated data to facilitate label based attribute filtering. This was contributed in an Insight Journal article[1]. There are a great many things that can be efficiently computed in the framework.
