/** \class GeodesicActiveContourLevelSetFunction
 *
 * \brief This function is used in GeodesicActiveContourLevelSetImageFilter to
 * segment structures in an image based on a user supplied edge potential map.
 *
 * \par IMPORTANT
 * The LevelSetFunction class contain additional information necessary
 * to gain full understanding of how to use this function.
 *
 * GeodesicActiveContourLevelSetFunction is a subclass of the generic LevelSetFunction.
 * It is used to segment structures in an image based on a user supplied
 * edge potential map \f$ g(I) \f$, which
 * has values close to zero in regions near edges (or high image gradient) and values
 * close to one in regions with relatively constant intensity. Typically, the edge
 * potential map is a function of the gradient, for example:
 *
 * \f[ g(I) = 1 / ( 1 + | (\nabla * G)(I)| ) \f]
 * \f[ g(I) = \exp^{-|(\nabla * G)(I)|} \f]
 *
 * where \f$ I \f$ is image intensity and
 * \f$ (\nabla * G) \f$ is the derivative of Gaussian operator.
 *
 * The edge potential image is set via the SetFeatureImage() method.
 *
 * In this function both the propagation term \f$ P(\mathbf{x}) \f$
 * and the curvature spatial modifier term \f$ Z(\mathbf{x}) \f$ are taken directly
 * from the edge potential image such that:
 *
 * \f[ P(\mathbf{x}) = g(\mathbf{x}) \f]
 * \f[ Z(\mathbf{x}) = g(\mathbf{x}) \f]
 *
 * An advection term \f$ \mathbf{A}(\mathbf{x}) \f$ is constructed
 * from the negative gradient of the edge potential image.
 *
 * \f[ \mathbf{A}(\mathbf{x}) = -\nabla g(\mathbf{x}) \f]
 *
 * This term behaves like a doublet attracting the contour to the edges.
 *
 * This implementation is based on:
 * "Geodesic Active Contours",
 * V. Caselles, R. Kimmel and G. Sapiro.
 * International Journal on Computer Vision,
 * Vol 22, No. 1, pp 61-97, 1997
