/** \brief Find the connected components of a segmented image.

    Connected components are defined as regions with uniform pixel
    values. Thus, <TT>T1</TT> either must be
    equality comparable, or a suitable EqualityFunctor must be
    provided that realizes the desired predicate. The
    destination's value type <tt>T2</tt> should be large enough to hold the labels
    without overflow. Region numbers will be a consecutive sequence
    starting with one and ending with the region number returned by
    the function (inclusive). The parameter '<TT>eight_neighbors</TT>'
    determines whether the regions should be 4-connected (false) or
    8-connected (true). 

    Return:  the number of regions found (= largest region label)
    
    See \ref labelMultiArray() for a dimension-independent implementation of 
    connected components labelling.

/** \brief Find the connected components of a segmented image,

    This function works like \ref labelImage(), but considers all background pixels
    (i.e. pixels having the given '<TT>background_value</TT>') as a single region that
    is ignored when determining connected components and remains untouched in the
    destination image. Usually, you will zero-initialize the output image, so that
    the background gets label 0 (remember that actual region labels start at one).

    Return:  the number of non-background regions found (= largest region label)

    This algorithm inserts border pixels (so called "crack edges" or "interpixel edges")
    between regions in a labeled image like this (<TT>a</TT> and
    <TT>c</TT> are the original labels, and <TT>0</TT> is the value of
    <TT>edge_marker</TT> and denotes the inserted edges):

    \code
       original image     insert zero- and one-cells

                                         a 0 c c c

                                         a a a a a
    \endcode

    The algorithm assumes that the original labeled image contains
    no background. Therefore, it is suitable as a post-processing
    operation of \ref labelImage() or \ref seededRegionGrowing().

    The destination image must be twice the size of the original
    (precisely, <TT>(2*w-1)</TT> by <TT>(2*h-1)</TT> pixels). The
    source value type (<TT>SrcAccessor::value-type</TT>) must be
    equality-comparable.

    which belong to a different region (label) than their right or lower
    neighbors:

       original image                     edges
                                 (assuming edge_marker == 1)

    The non-edge pixels of the destination image will not be touched.
    The source value type <TT>T1</TT> must be
    equality-comparable.
