+ * This algorithm is already implemented in thre Retina class (retina::applyFastToneMapping) but used it does not require all the retina model to be allocated. This allows a light memory use for low memory devices (smartphones, etc.
+ * As a summary, these are the model properties:
+ * => 2 stages of local luminance adaptation with a different local neighborhood for each.
+ * => first stage models the retina photorecetors local luminance adaptation
+ * => second stage models th ganglion cells local information adaptation
+ * => compared to the initial publication, this class uses spatio-temporal low pass filters instead of spatial only filters.
+ * ====> this can help noise robustness and temporal stability for video sequence use cases.
