 * \return  pixd 8 bpp, or NULL on error
 *
 * <pre>
 * Notes:
 *      (1) It is more efficient to use a connectivity of 4 for the fill.
 *      (2) This fills bumps to some level, and extracts the unfilled
 *          part of the bump.  To extract the troughs of basins, first
 *          invert pixs and then apply pixHDome().
 *      (3) It is useful to compare the HDome operation with the TopHat.
 *          The latter extracts peaks or valleys that have a width
 *          not exceeding the size of the structuring element used
 *          in the opening or closing, rsp.  The height of the peak is
 *          irrelevant.  By contrast, for the HDome, the gray seedfill
 *          is used to extract all peaks that have a height not exceeding
 *          a given value, regardless of their width!
 *      (4) Slightly more precisely, suppose you set 'height' = 40.
 *          Then all bumps in pixs with a height greater than or equal
 *          to 40 become, in pixd, bumps with a max value of exactly 40.
 *          All shorter bumps have a max value in pixd equal to the height
 *          of the bump.
 *      (5) The method: the filling mask, pixs, is the image whose peaks
 *          are to be extracted.  The height of a peak is the distance
 *          between the top of the peak and the highest "leak" to the
 *          outside -- think of a sombrero, where the leak occurs
 *          at the highest point on the rim.
 *            (a) Generate a seed, pixd, by subtracting some value, p, from
 *                each pixel in the filling mask, pixs.  The value p is
 *                the 'height' input to this function.
 *            (b) Fill in pixd starting with this seed, clipping by pixs,
 *                in the way described in seedfillGrayLow().  The filling
 *                stops before the peaks in pixs are filled.
 *                For peaks that have a height > p, pixd is filled to
 *                the level equal to the (top-of-the-peak - p).
 *                For peaks of height < p, the peak is left unfilled
 *                from its highest saddle point (the leak to the outside).
 *            (c) Subtract the filled seed (pixd) from the filling mask (pixs).
 *          Note that in this procedure, everything is done starting
 *          with the filling mask, pixs.
 *      (6) For segmentation, the resulting image, pixd, can be thresholded
 *          and used as a seed for another filling operation.

 *          if you used an erosion instead of an opening, or a dilation
 *          instead of a closing.
 *      (2) Instead of opening or closing at full resolution, it does
 *          a fast downscale/minmax operation, then a quick small smoothing
 *          at low res, a replicative expansion of the "background"
 *          to full res, and finally a removal of the background level
 *          from the input image.  The smoothing step may not be important.
 *      (3) It does not remove noise as well as a tophat, but it is
 *          5 to 10 times faster.
 *          If you need the preciseness of the tophat, don't use this.
 *      (4) The L_TOPHAT_WHITE flag emphasizes small bright regions,
 *          whereas the L_TOPHAT_BLACK flag emphasizes small dark regions.
