/** \class ImageToParametricSpaceFilter
 * \brief Generate a mesh of parametric space from input images.
 *
 * ImageToParametricSpaceFilter takes a three Images of equal dimension and
 * size and generates from them a Mesh.
 *
 * The mesh contains one point for every pixel on the images. The
 * coordinate of the point being equal to the gray level of the
 * associated input pixels.
 *
 * This class is intended to produce the population of points that
 * represent samples in a parametric space. In this particular case
 * the parameters are the gray levels of the input images
 *
 * The dimension of the mesh points should be equal to the number
 * of input images to this filter.
