/* 2D Edge extraction by suppression of the non-maxima of the gradient.
 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 * Filtering is achieved by using Deriche's filters or recursive
 * approximations of the gaussian (and its derivative).
 *
 * The 3D buffer is processed slice by slice, and a 2D edge
 * detection is performed independently in each slice.
 *
 * PARAMETERS:
 *
 * - bufferDims[0] is the dimension along X,
 *
 *   bufferDims[1] is the dimension along Y,
 *
 *   bufferDims[2] is the dimension along Z.
 *
 * - borderLengths[0] is the number of points to be
 *   added at both ends of each X line (if
 *   positive). The value of each endpoint is 
 *   repeated borderLengths[0] times to produce
 *   a line of length 
 *   bufferDims[0] + 2 * borderLengths[0].
 *
 *   borderLengths[1] is the number of points to be
 *   added at both ends of each Y line.
 *
 * - filterCoefs[0] is the coefficient of the filter
 *   to be applied along direction X. 
 *
 *   filterCoefs[1] is the coefficient of the filter
 *   to be applied along direction Y. 
 *
 * - filterType is the type of recursive filter to
 *   be applied to the 3D buffer.
 *
 * RETURN:
 *
 * - 0 in case of error
 *
 * - 1 if successful
 *
 * SEE:
 *
 * - bufferType.
 *
 * - recursiveFilterType.

 * DESCRIPTION:

 * extremum if and only if its modulus is greater

 *
 * Only positive value of epsilon are considered.
 *
 * Default value is 0.5. 
 *

 * value is 0.00001 (because 1/2^16 = .0000152587890625
 * and medical images are usually 16 bits).

/* Set epsilon value for gradient derivatives.
 *
 * DESCRIPTION:
 * A point M is considered as a gradient extrema
 * if its modulus is larger than the ones of 
 * M+G and M-G where G is the normalized gradient
 * (the unit vector in the direction of the gradient).
 *
 * The modulus for both M+G and M-G will be generally 
 * estimated with a [bi,tri]linear interpolation. 
 * However, the coefficient of this interpolation
 * for M+G are the same (with a permutation) than the
 * ones of M-G. For efficiency, we use them again.
 *
 * However, a probleme may occur when one of the gradient
 * component is equal to one: using the same coefficients 
 * with a permutation leads to errors. 
 * Thus, if one gradient derivative is larger (in absolute value)
 * than (1.0 - epsilon), we use the nearest modulus value as 
 * the estimated value (which makes sense). 
 *
 * By default, epsilon is set to 0.01.
