/**
 * \class AnisotropicDiffusionFunction
 * This class is a virtual base for anisotropic diffusion function objects.  It
 * is a component object in the finite difference solver hierarchy (see
 * itkFiniteDifferenceImageFilter for an overview).
 * AnisotropicDiffusionFunction objects are used by
 * AnisotropicDiffusionImageFilter objects to perform non-linear diffusion on
 * itk::Images.
 *
 * \par Overview of anisotropic diffusion
 *
 * Anisotropic diffusion methods are formulated to reduce noise (or unwanted
 * detail) in images while preserving specific image features.  For many
 * applications, there is an assumption that light-dark transitions
 * (edges) are interesting.  Standard isotropic diffusion methods move and blur
 * light-dark boundaries.  Anisotropic diffusion methods are formulated to
 * specifically preserve edges.
 *
 * Anisotropic diffusion methods can be thought of as tools for calculating
 * multi-scale descriptions of images. Embed an image \f$U(\mathbf{x})\f$ in a
 * higher dimensional function of derived images, \f$U(\mathbf{x}, t)\f$.  This
 * higher dimensional function represents the solution of the heat diffusion
 * equation,
 *
 * \par
 * \f[\frac{d U(\mathbf{x})}{d t} = \nabla \cdot c \nabla U(\mathbf{x})\f]
 *
 * \par
 * with constant \f$c\f$ and initial condition
 * \f$U(\mathbf{x}, 0) = U_0(\mathbf{x})\f$, the original image.
 *
 * \par
 * Extending to the case where \f$c\f$ is not a constant, but a function of
 * \f$\mathbf{x}\f$, gives
 *
 * \par
 * \f[\frac{d U(\mathbf{x})}{d t} = C(\mathbf{x})\Delta U(\mathbf{x})
 * + \nabla C(\mathbf{x}) \nabla U(\mathbf{x})\f]
 *
 * \par
 * Our choice of \f$C\f$ now varies the strength of diffusion anisotropically.
 * Typically, \f$C\f$ is chosen as some function of image features to
 * selectively preserve or remove those features.  For example, edges tend to
 * be preserved over smoother regions where \f$C\f$ is inversely scaled
 * according to gradient magnitude as in
 *
 * \par
 * \f[C(\mathbf{x}) = e^{-(\frac{\parallel \nabla U(\mathbf{x}) \parallel}{K})^2}\f].
 *
 * \par
 * Several variations on the scheme presented above are implemented in Itk as
 * subclasses of this equation.  The equations are solved using an iterative,
 * finite forward difference technique (see the FiniteDifferenceImageFilter
 * class).
 *
 * \par How to use this class
 * This class must be subclassed to provide the CalculateUpdate() methods of
 * FiniteDifferenceFunction and the function
 * CalculateAverageGradientMagnitudeSquared(), which is called before each
 * iteration to recalibrate the conductance term.
 *
 * \par Parameters
 *  The parameters defined in this class apply to the basic anisotropic
 *  diffusion equation described in AnisotropicDiffusionFunction.  Variations
 *  on the basic equation will be more or less sensitive to these parameters.
 *  For example, functions that perform higher-order derivative calculations
 *  may require smaller time-steps than those that only do first-derivative
 *  calculations. Wherever possibe, reasonable parameters settings are
 *  suggested in the documentation of a specific equation implementation.
 *
 * \par TimeStep
 * In the anisotropic diffusion filter hierarchy, the time step is set
 * explicitly by the user.  The time step referred to here corresponds exactly
 * to \f$ \Delta t \f$ in the finite difference update equation described in
 * FiniteDifferenceImageFilter (see itkFiniteDifferenceImageFilter for more
 * information).  Appropriate time steps for solving this type of p.d.e. depend
 * on the dimensionality of the image and the order of the equation.
 * Stable values for most 2D and 3D functions are
 * 0.125 and 0.0625, respectively, when the pixel spacing is unity or is turned off.
 * In general, you should keep the time step below
 * \f$(PixelSpacing)/2^{N+1}\f$, where \f$N\f$ is the number of image
 * dimensions.  A filter will automatically attempt to constrain its time step
 * to a stable value and generate a run-time warning if the time step is set
 * too high.
 *
 * \par Conductance Parameter
 * The conductance parameter controls the sensitivity of the conductance term
 * in the basic anisotropic diffusion equation.  It affects the conductance term
 * in different ways depending on the particular variation on the basic
 * equation. As a general rule, the lower the value, the more strongly the
 * diffusion equation preserves image features (such as high gradients or
 * curvature).  A high value for conductance will cause the filter to diffuse
 * image features more readily.  Typical values range from 0.5 to 2.0 for data
 * like the Visible Human color data, but the correct value for your
 * application is wholly dependent on the results you want from a specific data
 * set and the number or iterations you perform.
