/** \class IsoDataThresholdCalculator
 * \brief Computes the IsoData threshold for an image. Aka intermeans
 *
 * Iterative procedure based on the isodata algorithm [T.W. Ridler, S. Calvard, Picture
 * thresholding using an iterative selection method, IEEE Trans. System, Man and
 * Cybernetics, SMC-8 (1978) 630-632.]
 * The procedure divides the image into objects and background by taking an initial threshold,
 * then the averages of the pixels at or below the threshold and pixels above are computed.
 * The averages of those two values are computed, the threshold is incremented and the
 * process is repeated until the threshold is larger than the composite average. That is,
 * threshold = (average background + average objects)/2
 *
 * This class is templated over the input histogram type.
 * \warning This calculator assumes that the input histogram has only one dimension.
