      \brief It implements the vectorizer, based on TerraLib 4 algorithm.

      This algorithm implements a vectorizer, which is an algorithm to convert an
      image with pixel-labels into a set of polygons. All connected pixels in the
      image with the same label will define an individual polygon. This algorithm
      is based on the implementation of the previous version of this library, the
      TerraLib 4.
