Adding a new image operator to implement fractal filling of gaps in images using the Voter Model Cellular Automaton algorithm of Sprott (2004) as modified by Anderson et al. See package-info javadocs.

From [email protected] on June 15, 2011 12:48:20 Thinking about design...

First idea is to apply VectorBinarize to the source image, creating polygons for all gaps. If the gaps are restricted to a single tile of the source image, the OpImage will just hold its own copy of that tile with the filled data. Requests for data from other tiles will be passed through to the source image.

Will proceed with that idea and then Simone and Andrea can shoot it down in testing :)
