Ticket #37 (closed defect: moved)

The point of using ImageFlatField within VisBio is for efficiency. There are some cases where the FlatField.unpackFloats method must be called to transform the more efficient (e.g.) byte representation within a BufferedImage back into a float or double array -- typically when some kind of mathematical operation needs to be performed on the data. Resampling is one such operation, but we can implement a more efficient resampling operation that does not need to delegate to VisAD (and thus call unpackFloats).

This problem may disappear as part of reworking ImageFlatField to be more efficient (ticket #34) and VisBio to lean more heavily on Bio-Formats (ticket #35).
