[ITK-users] [ITK] New Submission: ND morphological contour interpolation

Hi Thanos,

here is a short and easy-to-understand example. The input is an image with
some slices segmented, the output is an image with the missing slices
interpolated. If smoothing radius is provided, it is used. I will test this
a bit more and integrate into the repository, per Matt's suggestion.

Regards,
Dženan
