I'm fine with that since NthElementImageAdaptor will provide that same
functionality that VectorImageToImageAdaptor was attempting. I'll
need to modify the denoising filter to use NthElementImageAdaptor
instead, but that should be no problem. It should be easy enough to
modify VectorImageTest to use NthElementImageAdaptor as well.

Hello,
I would like to declare the VectorImageToImageAdaptor dysfunctional
and deprecate it to clarify the robust behavior and more favored
usage of the NthElementImageAdaptor.
Currently, the VectorImageToImageAdaptor does not work with
Iterators, and therefore does not work with just about every
ImageFilter. This adaptor is only for VectorImages, and it is
currently little used and does not have a practical example[1].
While there is currently the NthElementImageAdaptor which currently
working only with itk::Images of pixel types like RGBPixel or Vector
etc.
I propose deprecating the VectorImageToimageAdaptor, and it's
related Accessor so that the NthElementImageAdaptor can uniformly be
used for ITK's image class. This greatly simplifies is usage and
make writing filters which use it easier.
I have already implemented the specialization of the
NthElementPixelAccessor, and just need to improve the
documentation[2]. I however am reluctant to invest in deprecating
the VectorImageToImageAdaptor until it is agreed that is the best
way to proceed.
Thanks,
Brad
