/** \class NaryMaximumImageFilter
 * \brief Computes the pixel-wise maximum of several images.
 *
 * This class is templated over the types of the input images and the type
 * of the output image.  Numeric conversions (castings) are done by the C++
 * defaults.
 *
 * The pixel type of the output images must have a valid definition of the
 * operator<. This condition is required because internally this filter will
 * perform an operation similar to:
 *
 * \code
 *    const OutputPixelType query_value = static_cast<OutputPixelType>(pixel_from_input_n);
 *    if(current_maximum < query_value)
 *      {
 *      current_maximum = query_value;
 *      }
 * \endcode
 * (where current_maximum is also of type OutputPixelType)
 *
 * for each of the n input images.
 *
 * For example, this filter could be used directly to find a "maximum projection"
 * of a series of images, often used in preliminary analysis of time-series data.
