Processing Filters

Description

This Filter removes grains that have a total of voxels below the minimum number input by the user. The minimum is 1. The maximum is the number of voxels in the largest grain. Entering 0 is not permitted because all grains would be eliminated. Entering the number of voxels associated with the largest grain, all grains will be removed.
NOTE: If the minimum number entered is larger than the largest grain,
THE PIPELINE WILL EXIT DURING THE FILTER!
The number of voxels in the largest grain is determined during the running of this filter. Hence, a conservative approach to selecting the minimum number of voxels is strongly recommended.

After removing all the small grains, the remaining grains are coarsened to fill the gaps left by the small grains. The iteration coarsens the grains by one voxel each iteration.
