            This page documents the functionality present in this library that deals with the
            management and manipulation of images.  One thing to note is that there is no 
            explicit image object.  Instead, everything deals with <a href="containers.html#array2d">
            array2d</a> objects that contain various kinds of pixels.  
         </p>

                This object is an alternate way of representing image data
                that allows for very fast computations of sums of pixels in 
                rectangular regions.  To use this object you load it with a
                normal image and then you can use the get_sum_of_area()
                member function to compute sums of pixels in a given area in
                constant time.

            This is a function that operates on an <a href="#integral_image">integral_image</a>
            and allows you to compute the response of a Haar wavelet oriented along
            the X axis.

            Computes and returns the dominant angle (i.e. the angle of the dominant gradient)
            at a given point and scale in an image.   This function is part of the
            main processing of the SURF algorithm.

             This function runs the complete SURF algorithm on an input image and 
             returns the points it found.  For a description of what exactly
             the SURF algorithm does you should read the following paper:
             <blockquote>
               SURF: Speeded Up Robust Features
               By Herbert Bay1 , Tinne Tuytelaars2 , and Luc Van Gool12
             </blockquote>
             <p>
                Also note that there are numerous flavors of the SURF algorithm
                you can put together using the functions in dlib.  The get_surf_points()
                function is just an example of one way you might do so.  
             </p>

            Computes the 64 dimensional SURF descriptor vector of a box centered
              at a given center point, tilted at a given angle, and sized according to 
              a given scale.

                This object represents an image pyramid where each level in the
                pyramid holds determinants of Hessian matrices for the original 
                input image.  This object can be used to find stable interest
                points in an image.  

               <br/><br/>
                This object is an implementation of the fast Hessian pyramid 
                as described in the paper: 
                <blockquote>
                   SURF: Speeded Up Robust Features
                   By Herbert Bay, Tinne Tuytelaars, and Luc Van Gool
                </blockquote>

                This implementation was also influenced by the very well documented
                OpenSURF library and its corresponding description of how the fast
                Hessian algorithm functions:  
                <blockquote>Notes on the OpenSURF Library by Christopher Evans</blockquote>

            assign_pixel() is a templated function that can assign any pixel type to another pixel type.
            It will perform whatever conversion is necessary to make the assignment work.  (E.g. color to 
            grayscale conversion)

            assign_pixel_intensity() is a templated function that can change the
            intensity of a pixel.  So if the pixel in question is a grayscale pixel
            then it simply assigns that pixel the given value.  However, if the
            pixel is not a grayscale pixel then it converts the pixel to the
            HSI color space and sets the I channel to the given intensity
            and then converts this HSI value back to the original pixel's 
            color space.

            get_pixel_intensity() is a templated function that
