// .NAME vtkImageDifference - Compares images for regression tests.
// .SECTION Description
// vtkImageDifference takes two rgb unsigned char images and compares them.
// It allows the images to be slightly different.  If AllowShift is on,
// then each pixel can be shifted by one pixel. Threshold is the allowable
// error for each pixel.
//
// This is not a symetric filter and the difference computed is not symetric
// when AllowShift is on. Specifically in that case a pixel in SetImage input
// will be compared to the matching pixel in the input as well as to the
// input's eight connected neighbors. BUT... the opposite is not true. So for
// example if a valid image (SetImage) has a single white pixel in it, it
// will not find a match in the input image if the input image is black
// (because none of the nine suspect pixels are white). In contrast, if there
// is a single white pixel in the input image and the valid image (SetImage)
// is all black it will match with no error because all it has to do is find
// black pixels and even though the input image has a white pixel, its
// neighbors are not white.
