WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
This object is a tool for running a sliding window classifier over
an image pyramid. This object can also be understood as a general
tool for implementing the spatial pyramid models described in the paper:
Beyond Bags of Features: Spatial Pyramid Matching for Recognizing
Natural Scene Categories by Svetlana Lazebnik, Cordelia Schmid,
and Jean Ponce
The sliding window classifiers used by this object have three parts:
1. The underlying feature extraction provided by Feature_extractor_type
objects, which associate a vector with each location in an image.
2. A detection template. This is a rectangle which defines the shape of a
sliding window (the object_box), as well as a set of rectangles which
envelop it. This set of enveloping rectangles defines the spatial
structure of the overall feature extraction within a sliding window.
In particular, each location of a sliding window has a feature vector
associated with it. This feature vector is defined as follows:
- Let N denote the number of enveloping rectangles.
- Let M denote the dimensionality of the vectors output by Feature_extractor_type
objects.
- Let F(i) == the M dimensional vector which is the sum of all vectors
given by our Feature_extractor_type object inside the ith enveloping
rectangle.
- Then the feature vector for a sliding window is an M*N dimensional vector
[F(1) F(2) F(3) ... F(N)] (i.e. it is a concatenation of the N vectors).
This feature vector can be though of as a collection of N "bags of features",
each bag coming from a spatial location determined one of the enveloping
rectangles.
3. A weight vector and a threshold value. The dot product between the weight
vector and the feature vector for a sliding window location gives the score
of the window. If this score is greater than the threshold value then the
window location is output as a detection.
Finally, the sliding window classifiers described above are applied to every level
of an image pyramid.

- image_type must be a type with the following properties:
- image_type is default constructable.
- image_type is swappable by the global swap() function.
- image_type logically represents some kind of image and therefore
has .nr() and .nc() member functions. .nr() should return the
number of rows while .nc() returns the number of columns.
- image_type objects can be loaded into Feature_extractor_type
objects via Feature_extractor_type::load().
- image_type objects can be used with Pyramid_type. That is,
if pyr is an object of type Pyramid_type while img1 and img2
are objects of image_type. Then pyr(img1,img2) should be
a valid expression which downsamples img1 into img2.

- Adds another detection template to this object. In particular, object_box
defines the size and shape of a sliding window while feature_extraction_regions
defines the locations for feature extraction as discussed in the WHAT THIS
OBJECT REPRESENTS section above. Note also that the locations of the feature
extraction regions are relative to the object_box.
- #get_num_detection_templates() == get_num_detection_templates() + 1
- The order of rectangles in feature_extraction_regions matters. Recall that
each rectangle gets its own set of features. So given two different templates,
their ith rectangles will both share the same part of the weight vector (w)
supplied to detect(). So there should be some reasonable correspondence
between the rectangle ordering in different detection templates. For,
example, different detection templates should place corresponding
feature extraction regions in roughly the same part of the object_box.

WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS section and stores all detections into #dets.
- for all valid i:
- #dets[i].second == The object box which produced this detection. This rectangle gives
the location of the detection. Note that the rectangle will have been converted back into
the original image input space. That is, if this detection was made at a low level in the
image pyramid then the object box will have been automatically mapped up the pyramid layers
to the original image space. Or in other words, if you plot #dets[i].second on top of the
image given to load() it will show up in the right place.
- #dets[i].first == The score for this detection. This value is equal to dot(w, feature vector
for this sliding window location).
- #dets[i].first >= thresh
- #dets will be sorted in descending order. (i.e. #dets[i].first >= #dets[j].first for all i, and j>i)
- Elements of w beyond index get_num_dimensions()-1 are ignored. I.e. only the first
get_num_dimensions() are used.

- This function allows you to determine the feature vector used for a sliding window location
or the sum of such vectors for a set of locations.
- if (rects was produced by a call to detect(), i.e. rects contains the contents of dets) then
- #psi == the sum of feature vectors corresponding to the sliding window locations contained
in rects.
- #mapped_rects == rects
- Let w denote the w vector given to detect(), then we have:
- dot(w,#psi) == sum of scores of the dets produced by detect()
- else
- Since scan_image_pyramid is a sliding window classifier system, not all possible rectangles can
be output by detect(). So in the case where rects contains rectangles which could not arise
from a call to detect(), this function will map the rectangles in rects to the nearest possible
object boxes and then store the sum of feature vectors for the mapped rectangles into #psi.
- for all valid i: #mapped_rects[i] == the rectangle rects[i] gets mapped to for feature extraction.
- #mapped_rects.size() == rects.size()
