/** \class KLMSegmentationRegion
 * \brief Base class for KLMSegmentationRegion object
 *
 * itkKLMSegmentationRegion is the base class for the KLMSegmentationRegion
 * objects. It provides the basic function definitions that are inherent to
 * KLMSegmentationRegion objects.
 *
 * This object supports data handling of multiband images. The object
 * accepts images in vector format, where each pixel is a vector and each
 * element of the vector corresponds to an entry from 1 particular band of
 * a multiband dataset.
 *
 * We expect the user to provide the input to the routine in vector format.
 * A single band image is treated as a vector image with a single element
 * for every vector.
 *
 * Data structure for a region:
 * A region is defined as a closed area in the image that is surrounded
 * by a list of borders objects (see itkKLMSegmentationBorder class).
 *
 * Shown below is an initial two-dimensional 8x9 image with a 4x3 grid size
 * partition. The initial region blocks are labelled in hexadecimal.
 * Below the grid partition, the borders are shown as E, where C
 * is an image pixel from the initial image.  Note that each border is
 * placed in between two regions.  Each two-dimensional region is
 * surrounded by four borders.
 *
 * Initial regions of a 8 by 9 image with a 4 by 3 grid partition.
