// This example illustrates how to perform subsampling of a volume using ITK
// classes. In order to avoid aliasing artifacts, the volume must be
// processed by a low-pass filter before resampling. Here we use the
// \doxygen{RecursiveGaussianImageFilter} as low-pass filter. The image is
// then resampled by using three different factors, one per dimension of the
// image.
