// Image class which provides a thin layer around an IplImage.  The goals
// of the class design are:
//    1. All the data has explicit ownership to avoid memory leaks
//    2. No hidden allocations or copies for performance.
//    3. Easy access to OpenCV methods (which will access IPP if available)
//    4. Can easily treat external data as an image
//    5. Easy to create images which are subsets of other images
//    6. Fast pixel access which can take advantage of number of channels
//          if known at compile time.
//
// The WImage class is the image class which provides the data accessors.
// The 'W' comes from the fact that it is also a wrapper around the popular
// but inconvenient IplImage class. A WImage can be constructed either using a
// WImageBuffer class which allocates and frees the data,
// or using a WImageView class which constructs a subimage or a view into
// external data.  The view class does no memory management.  Each class
// actually has two versions, one when the number of channels is known at
// compile time and one when it isn't.  Using the one with the number of
// channels specified can provide some compile time optimizations by using the
// fact that the number of channels is a constant.
//
// We use the convention (c,r) to refer to column c and row r with (0,0) being
// the upper left corner.  This is similar to standard Euclidean coordinates
// with the first coordinate varying in the horizontal direction and the second
// coordinate varying in the vertical direction.
// Thus (c,r) is usually in the domain [0, width) X [0, height)
//
// Example usage:
// WImageBuffer3_b  im(5,7);  // Make a 5X7 3 channel image of type uchar
// WImageView3_b  sub_im(im, 2,2, 3,3); // 3X3 submatrix
// vector<float> vec(10, 3.0f);
// WImageView1_f user_im(&vec[0], 2, 5);  // 2X5 image w/ supplied data
//
// im.SetZero();  // same as cvSetZero(im.Ipl())
// *im(2, 3) = 15;  // Modify the element at column 2, row 3
// MySetRand(&sub_im);
//
// // Copy the second row into the first.  This can be done with no memory
// // allocation and will use SSE if IPP is available.
// int w = im.Width();
// im.View(0,0, w,1).CopyFrom(im.View(0,1, w,1));
//
// // Doesn't care about source of data since using WImage
// void MySetRand(WImage_b* im) { // Works with any number of channels
//   for (int r = 0; r < im->Height(); ++r) {
//     float* row = im->Row(r);
//     for (int c = 0; c < im->Width(); ++c) {
//        for (int ch = 0; ch < im->Channels(); ++ch, ++row) {
//          *row = uchar(rand() & 255);
//        }
//     }
//   }
// }
//
// Functions that are not part of the basic image allocation, viewing, and
// access should come from OpenCV, except some useful functions that are not
// part of OpenCV can be found in wimage_util.h
