// Even though OTB can be used to perform
// general image processing tasks, the primary purpose of the toolkit is the
// processing of remote sensing image data.  In that respect, additional
// information about the images is considered mandatory. In particular the
// information associated with the physical spacing between pixels and the
// position of the image in space with respect to some world coordinate
// system are extremely important.
//
// Image origin and spacing are fundamental to many
// applications. Registration, for example, is performed in physical
// coordinates. Improperly defined spacing and origins will result in
// inconsistent results in such processes. Remote sensing images with no spatial
// information should not be used for image analysis,
// feature extraction, GIS input, etc. In
// other words, remote sensing images lacking spatial information are not only
// useless but also hazardous.

// Figure \ref{fig:ImageOriginAndSpacing} illustrates the main geometrical
// concepts associated with the \doxygen{otb}{Image}. In this figure,
// circles are
// used to represent the center of pixels. The value of the pixel is assumed
// to exist as a Dirac Delta Function located at the pixel center. Pixel
// spacing is measured between the pixel centers and can be different along
// each dimension. The image origin is associated with the coordinates of the
// first pixel in the image. A \emph{pixel} is considered to be the
// rectangular region surrounding the pixel center holding the data
// value. This can be viewed as the Voronoi region of the image grid, as
// illustrated in the right side of the figure.  Linear interpolation of
// image values is performed inside the Delaunay region whose corners
// are pixel centers.

  // the first pixel of the image with respect to an arbitrary

  // responsibility to make sure that multiple images used in the same
  // application are using a consistent reference system. This is
  // extremely important in image registration applications.

  //  The origin can also be retrieved from an image by using the
  //  \code{GetOrigin()} method. This will return a reference to a

  // Once the spacing and origin of the image have been initialized, the image
  // will correctly map pixel indices to and from physical space
  // coordinates. The following code illustrates how a point in physical
  // space can be mapped into an image index for the purpose of reading the
  // content of the closest pixel.
  //
  // First, a \doxygen{itk}{Point} type must be declared. The point type is
  // templated over the type used to represent coordinates and over the
  // dimension of the space. In this particular case, the dimension of the
  // point must match the dimension of the image.

  using PointType = itk::Point<double, ImageType::ImageDimension>;

  // The Point class, like an \doxygen{itk}{Index}, is a relatively small and
  // simple object.  For this reason, it is not reference-counted like the
  // large data objects in OTB.  Consequently, it is also not manipulated
  // with \doxygen{itk}{SmartPointer}s.  Point objects are simply declared as
  // instances of any other C++ class.  Once the point is declared, its
  // components can be accessed using traditional array notation. In
  // particular, the \code{[]} operator is available. For efficiency reasons,
  // no bounds checking is performed on the index used to access a particular
  // point component. It is the user's responsibility to make sure that the
  // index is in the range $\{0, Dimension-1\}$.

  PointType point;

  point[0] = 1.45; // x coordinate
  point[1] = 7.21; // y coordinate

  // The image will map the point to an index using the values of the
  // current spacing and origin. An index object must be provided to
  // receive the results of the mapping. The index object can be
  // instantiated by using the \code{IndexType} defined in the Image
  // type.

  ImageType::IndexType pixelIndex;

  // The \code{TransformPhysicalPointToIndex()} method of the image class
  // will compute the pixel index closest to the point provided. The method
  // checks for this index to be contained inside the current buffered pixel
  // data. The method returns a boolean indicating whether the resulting
  // index falls inside the buffered region or not. The output index should
  // not be used when the returned value of the method is \code{false}.
  //
  // The following lines illustrate the point to index mapping and the
  // subsequent use of the pixel index for accessing pixel data from the
  // image.
  //
  // \index{otb::Image!TransformPhysicalPointToIndex()}

  bool isInside = image->TransformPhysicalPointToIndex(point, pixelIndex);

  if (isInside)
  {
    ImageType::PixelType pixelValue = image->GetPixel(pixelIndex);

    pixelValue += 5;

  // inefficient methods for accessing pixel data. Image iterators should be
