 * \brief Averages a single dimension of an image.
 *
 *    This class averages an image along a dimension and reduces the size
 * of this dimension to 1. The dimension being averaged is set by
 * AveragedOutDimension.
 *
 *   Each pixel is the average of the pixels along the collapsed
 * dimension and reduce the size of the averaged dimension to 1 (only
 * on the averaged dimension).
 *
 *   The dimensions of the InputImage and the OutputImage must be the same.
 *
 *
 * This class is parameterized over the type of the input image and
 * the type of the output image.
