\description{
grayscale reconstruction by dilation of an image
ReconstructionByDilationImageFilter}
\details{
Reconstruction by dilation operates on a "marker" image and a
"mask" image, and is defined as the dilation of the marker image
with respect to the mask image iterated until stability.
The marker image must be less than or equal to the mask image (on a
pixel by pixel basis).
Geodesic morphology is described in Chapter 6.2 of Pierre Soille's
book "Morphological Image Analysis: Principles and Applications",
Second Edition, Springer, 2003.
Algorithm implemented in this filter is based on algorithm described by Kevin
Robinson and Paul F. Whelan in "Efficient Morphological
Reconstruction: A Downhill Filter", Pattern Recognition Letters,
Volume 25, Issue 15, November 2004, Pages 1759-1767.
The algorithm, a description of the transform and some applications
can be found in "Morphological Grayscale Reconstruction in Image
Analysis:  Applications and Efficient Algorithms", Luc Vincent, IEEE
Transactions on image processing, Vol. 2, April 1993.
