   \brief Main class for peudo ground truth estimation for perfusion series 
   
   This class implements the Ground Truth Estimation for perfusion series
   as given in
   Chao Li and Ying Sun, "Nonrigid Registration of Myocardial Perfusion
   MRI Using Pseudo Ground Truth", MICCAI 2009, pp 165-172

   The class make use of GroundTruthProblem and CCorrelationEvaluator in order 
   to evaluate the pseudo ground truth. 

   There is a new paper about this methos that requires a segmentation 
   for better pseudo graound truth estimation.
