// This example illustrates the details of the \doxygen{otb}{MarkovRandomFieldFilter}.
// This filter is an application of the Markov Random Fields for classification,
// segmentation or restoration.
//
// This example applies the \doxygen{otb}{MarkovRandomFieldFilter} to
// classify an image into four classes defined by their mean and variance. The
// optimization is done using an Metropolis algorithm with a random sampler. The
// regularization energy is defined by a Potts model and the fidelity by a
// Gaussian model.
