Presented models originate from Jeanny Herault's original research and have been reused and adapted by the author&collaborators for computed vision applications since his thesis with Alice Caplier at Gipsa-Lab.
** Use: extract still images & image sequences features, from contours details to motion spatio-temporal features, etc. for high level visual scene analysis. Also contribute to image enhancement/compression such as tone mapping.

** The retina filter includes the research contributions of phd/research collegues from which code has been redrawn by the author :
** _take a look at the retinacolor.hpp module to discover Brice Chaix de Lavarene color mosaicing/demosaicing and the reference paper:
** ====> B. Chaix de Lavarene, D. Alleysson, B. Durette, J. Herault (2007). "Efficient demosaicing through recursive filtering", IEEE International Conference on Image Processing ICIP 2007
** _take a look at imagelogpolprojection.hpp to discover retina spatial log sampling which originates from Barthelemy Durette phd with Jeanny Herault. A Retina / V1 cortex projection is also proposed and originates from Jeanny's discussions.

/**
* @class ImageLogPolProjection
* @brief class able to perform a log sampling of an image input (models the log sampling of the photoreceptors of the retina)
* or a log polar projection which models the retina information projection on the primary visual cortex: a linear projection in the center for detail analysis and a log projection of the borders (low spatial frequency motion information in general)
*
* collaboration: Barthelemy DURETTE who experimented the retina log projection
-> "Traitement visuels Bio mimtiques pour la supplance perceptive", internal technical report, May 2005, Gipsa-lab/DIS, Grenoble, FRANCE
*
* * TYPICAL USE:
*
* // create object, here for a log sampling (keyword:RETINALOGPROJECTION): (dynamic object allocation sample)
* ImageLogPolProjection *imageSamplingTool;
* imageSamplingTool = new ImageLogPolProjection(frameSizeRows, frameSizeColumns, RETINALOGPROJECTION);
*
* // init log projection:
* imageSamplingTool->initProjection(1.0, 15.0);
*
* // during program execution, call the log transform applied to a frame called "FrameBuffer" :
* imageSamplingTool->runProjection(FrameBuffer);
* // get output frame and its size:
* const unsigned int logSampledFrame_nbRows=imageSamplingTool->getOutputNBrows();
* const unsigned int logSampledFrame_nbColumns=imageSamplingTool->getOutputNBcolumns();
* const double *logSampledFrame=imageSamplingTool->getSampledFrame();
*
* // at the end of the program, destroy object:
* delete imageSamplingTool;
