/** \class ImageShapeModelEstimatorBase
 * \brief Base class for statistical shape model estimation.
 *
 * itkImageShapeModelEstimatorBase is the base class for the
 * ImageShapeModelEstimator objects. It provides the basic function
 * definitions that are inherent to a ImageShapeModelEstimator objects.
 *
 * This is the Superclass for the ImageShapeModelEstimator
 * framework. This is an abstract class defining an interface for all
 * such objects available through the ImageShapeModelEstimator
 * framework in the ITK toolkit.
 *
 * The basic functionality of the ImageShapeModelEstimator framework
 * base class is to generate the ShapeModels. It requires input image
 * to be provided by the user. EstimateShapeModels() is a pure virtual
 * function making this an abstract class. Classes deriving from this
 * class are required to implement the EstimateShapeModels function.
