    If there is a single non-zero label in the originalLabelMap, then
    use that as the label map to feed the segmentor.
 
    If originalLabelMap contains multiple labels, extract
    desiredLabel, forms a new label map containing only desiredLabel
    to feed the segmentor.
 
    If originalLabelMap contains multiple labels, but do NOT contain
    desiredLabel, then use all the non-zero labels as a single label
    and output label value is desiredLabel.
 
    1. count number of different labels in the originalLabelMap
 
    2. if #= 1, return it
 
    3. if #= 2, if desiredLabel is not there, then return originalLabelMap itself
 
    4. if #= 2, go thru originalLabelMap and fill in a new label map
       with 1 where the label matches.
