1.前言
前面演示的例子都是在一个窗口中显示一个图像。但是在常见的图像处理软件中，经常会遇到在一个窗口中显示多个图像，这就会用到图像融合技术。图像融合利用图像的alpha通道和不透明度来实现。VTK中vtkImageBlend实现图像的融合。
vtkImageBlend可以接收多个图像输入，输出为融合图像。输出图像的像素间隔、原点、范围（extent）以及像素组分个数与第一个图像一致。该类提供了两种融合模式，默认的融合方式是标准模式。
第二种是混合模式（Compound）。该模式下输出结果经过alpha/opacity不透明度的和做过归一化。另外还可以设置一个阈值，当alpha*opacity小于等于该阈值时会忽略该像素。

代码中读入了一副灰度图像，并生成了一个二值图像；然后定义了vtkImageBlend对象，函数SetInput()设置两个图像作为输入。这里设置输入图像时，由于可以输入多个图像，因此需要给定图像的id号来设置输入。SetOpacity()用于设置对应id号的图像不透明度的大小，当不透明度为1.0时，为完全不透明。
