/** \class BoundaryResolver
 *  This filter implements a piece of the streaming watershed
 *  segmentation algorithm.  It takes in pairs of itk::watershed::Boundary
 *  objects and connects the labeling of pixels across image chunk boundaries.
 *  Read the documentation found in itk::WatershedImageFilter and the other
 *  watershed segmentation component objects for more information.
 *
 * \par A note on terminology in itk watershed segmentation code
 * For streamed segmentation of images in the watershed framework, the
 * documentation refers to the complete data set at the ``image volume.''  The
 * image volume is assumed to be partitioned into pieces referred to as image
 * chunks. Each chunk is processed in sequence through the pipeline.  The
 * ``face'' of an image chunk is an N-1 dimensional boundary region of an N
 * dimensional chunk (the planar faces of a cube, for example).

 * \par Input
 * The input to this filter is a pair of itk::watershed::Boundary pointers
 * (BoundaryA and BoundaryB).
 * The algorithm assumes that these Boundaries come from facing chunks in the
 * image volume.  The faces that align need to be specified in the parameters
 * of the filter.
 *
 * \par Output
 * This filter outputs a table of equivalencies among labels.  See
 * itk::EquivalencyTable for more information.
 * \ingroup WatershedSegmentation
 *
 * \par Parameters
 * The only parameters to set on this filter are the indices of the faces that
 * align in the boundary object inputs.  See itk::Boundary for a description of
 * how boundary faces are indexed.
