// This example shows how to compute the KMeans model of a Scalar Image.
//
// The \subdoxygen{Statistics}{KdTreeBasedKmeansEstimator} is used for taking
// a scalar image and applying the K-Means algorithm in order to define classes
// that represents statistical distributions of intensity values in the pixels.
// In the context of Medical Imaging, each class is typically associated to a
// particular type of tissue and can therefore be used as a form of image
// segmentation. One of the drawbacks of this technique is that the spatial
// distribution of the pixels is not considered at all. It is common therefore
// to combine the classification resulting from K-Means with other segmentation
// techniques that will use the classification as a prior and add spatial
// information to it in order to produce a better segmentation.
