/** \class ImageBase
 * \brief Base class for templated image classes.
 *
 * ImageBase is the base class for the templated Image
 * classes. ImageBase is templated over the dimension of the image. It
 * provides the API and ivars that depend solely on the dimension of
 * the image.  ImageBase does not store any of the image (pixel) data.
 * Storage for the pixels and the pixel access methods are defined in
 * subclasses of ImageBase, namely Image and ImageAdaptor.
 *
 * ImageBase manages the geometry of an image. The geometry of an
 * image is defined by its position, orientation, spacing, and extent.
 *
 * The position and orientation of an image is defined by its "Origin"
 * and its "Directions".  The "Origin" is the physical position of the
 * pixel whose "Index" is all zeros. The "Direction" of an image is a
 * matrix whose columns indicate the direction in physical space that
 * each dimension of the image traverses. The first column defines the
 * direction that the fastest moving index in the image traverses in
 * physical space while the last column defines the direction that the
 * slowest moving index in the image traverses in physical space.
 *
 * The extent of an image is defined by the pixel spacing and a set of
 * regions. The "Spacing" is the size of a pixel in physical space
 * along each dimension.  Regions describe a portion of an image grid
 * via a starting index for the image array and a size (or number of
 * pixels) in each dimension. The ivar LargestPossibleRegion defines
 * the size and starting index of the image dataset. The entire image
 * dataset, however, may not be resident in memory. The region of the
 * image that is resident in memory is defined by the
 * "BufferedRegion". The Buffer is a contiguous block of memory.  The
 * third set of meta-data defines a region of interest, called the
 * "RequestedRegion". The RequestedRegion is used by the pipeline
 * execution model to define what a filter is requested to produce.
 *
 * [RegionIndex, RegionSize] C [BufferIndex, BufferSize]
 *                           C [ImageIndex, ImageSize]
 *
 * ImageBase provides all the methods for converting between the
 * physical space and index coordinate
 * frames. TransformIndexToPhysicalPoint() converts an Index in the
 * pixel array into its coordinates in physical space.
 * TransformPhysicalPointToIndex() converts a position in physical
 * space into an Index into the pixel array (using
 * rounding). Subpixel locations are supported by methods that
 * convert to and from ContinuousIndex types.
 *
 * ImageBase also provides helper routines for the ImageIterators
 * which convert an Index to an offset in memory from the first pixel
 * address as well as covert an offset in memory from the first pixel
 * address to an Index.
