/*
The EdgePreservingDecomposition files contain standard C++ (standard except the 
first line) code for creating and, to a limited extent (create your own uses!), 
messing with multi scale edge preserving decompositions of a 32 bit single 
channel image. As a byproduct it contains a lot of linear algebra which can be 
useful for optimization problems that you want to solve in rectangles on 
rectangular grids.

Anyway. Basically, this is an implementation of what's presented in the 
following papers:
- Edge-Preserving Decompositions for Multi-Scale Tone and Detail Manipulation
- An Iterative Solution Method for Linear Systems of Which the Coefficient 
  Matrix is a Symmetric M-Matrix
- Color correction for tone mapping
- Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First one is most of what matters, next two are details, last everything else. 
I did a few things differently, especially:
- Reformulated the minimization with finite elements instead of finite 
  differences. This results in better conditioning, slightly better accuracy 
  (less artifacts), the possibility of a better picked edge stopping function, 
  but more memory consumption.
- A single rotationally invariant edge stopping function is used instead of two 
  non-invariant ones.
- Incomplete Cholseky factorization instead of Szeliski's LAHBF. Slower, but 
  not subject to any patents.
- For tone mapping, original images are decomposed instead of their logarithms, 
  and just one decomposition is made;
- I find that this way works plenty good (theirs isn't better or worse... just 
  different) and is simpler.

Written by ben_pcc in Portland, Oregon, USA. Some history:
- Late April 2010, I develop interest in this stuff because photos of my 
  ceramics lack local contrast.
- Mid 2010, it works but is too slow to be useful.
- Fall 2010, various unsuccessful attempts at speeding up are tried.
- Early December 2010, I get off the path of least resistance and write a 
  matrix storage class with incomplete Cholesky decomposition.
- 31 December 2010, the FEM reformulation works very well.
- 1 January 2011, I'm cleaning up this file and readying it for initial release.
- 12 - 14 November 2011, further cleanup, improvements, bug fixes, integration 
  into Raw Therapee.

It's likely that I'll take apart and rerelease contents of this file (in the 
distant future) as most of it isn't edge preserving decomposition and rather 
supporting material. SparseConjugateGradient alone is a workhorse I and a few 
others have been exploiting for a few years.

    and StartRows must strictly increase with its index. The main diagonal for example has start row 0, its subdiagonal has 1, etc.
    Then, Diagonal[j] is the matrix entry on the diagonal at column j. For efficiency, you're expected to learn this and fill in
    public Diagonals manually. Symmetric matrices are represented by this class, and all symmetry is handled internally, you
    only every worry or think about the lower triangular (including main diagonal) part of the matrix.
