/** \class TemporalProcessObject
 * \brief TemporalProcessObject implements a ProcessObject for the itk pipeline
 *        with the notion of a temporal region
 *
 * TemporalProcessObject acts as a pass-through in the inheritance tree in
 * order to require that subclasses properly implement handeling of temporal
 * regions. The key parameters of a temporal process object are:
 *
 * m_UnitInputNumberOfFrames
 * m_UnitOutputNumberOfFrames
 * m_FrameSkipPerOutput
 * m_InputStencilCurrentFrameIndex
 *
 * These parameters are protected by default so that the filter writer can
 * choose which to expose and which to keep constant. For a full explanation of
 * each parameter, see the individual comments with their declarations.
 * Subclasses of TemporalProcessObject must implement one of the following:
 *
 * GenerateData()
 * TemporalStreamingGenerateData()
 *
 * By default, GenerateData will split the requested temporal region of the
 * input and output temporal data objects into sub-requests of unit input and
 * unit output size. For example, if the output requests 3 frames and the
 * filter has unit input size of 2 and unit output size of 1, GenerateData will
 * produce 3 sub-requests that each require the input to provide 2 frames.
 * Using this default behavior, TemporalStreamingGenerateData must be
 * implemented and can assume that the RequestedTemporalRegion on the input and
 * output are unit size. If the temporal streaming behavior is not desired,
 * GenerateData can be implemented to directly handle the full output requested
 * temporal region in a single pass.
