/*
 * ==============
 * LOHALO SAMPLER
 * ==============
 *
 * The Lohalo ("Low Halo") sampler is a Jacobian-adaptive blend of
 * sigmoidized tensor filtering with the Mitchell-Netravali Keys cubic
 * filter used as an upsampler (and consequently unscaled), with
 * non-sigmoidized (plain linear light) EWA (Elliptical Weighted
 * Averaging) filtering with the Robidoux Keys cubic, which is used
 * whenever some downsampling occurs and consequently is appropriately
 * scaled.
 *
 * WARNING: This version of Lohalo only gives top quality results down
 * to about a downsampling of about ratio 2/(LOHALO_OFFSET_0+0.5).
 * Beyond that, the quality degrades gracefully (The "2" in the
 * numerator is because the radius of the Robidoux EWA filter is 2.)

/*
 * Credits and thanks:
 *
 * This code owes a lot to R&D performed for ImageMagick by
 * N. Robidoux and Anthony Thyssen, and student research performed by
 * Adam Turcotte and Chantal Racette.
 *
 * Sigmoidization was invented by N. Robidoux as a method of
 * minimizing the over and undershoots that arise out of filtering
 * with kernel with one more negative lobe. It basically consists of
 * resampling through a colorspace in which gamut extremes are "far"
 * from midtones.
 *
 * Jacobian adaptive resampling was developed by N. Robidoux and
 * A. Turcotte of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
 * of Laurentian University in the course of A. Turcotte's Masters in
 * Computational Sciences (even though the eventual thesis did not
 * include this topic). Øyvind Kolås and Michael Natterer contributed
 * much to the GEGL implementation.
 *
 * The Robidoux Keys cubic filter was developed by N. Robidoux and is
 * based on earlier research by A. Thyssen on the use of cubic
 * filters, like Mitchell-Netravali, for Elliptical Weighted
 * Averaging.
 *
 * Clamped EWA was developed by N. Robidoux and A. Thyssen with the
 * assistance of Chantal Racette and Frederick Weinhaus. It is based
 * on methods of Paul Heckbert, Andreas Gustaffson and almost
 * certainly other researchers.
 *
 * Fast computation methods for Keys cubic weights were developed by
 * N. Robidoux. Variants are used by the VIPS and ImageMagick
 * libraries.
 *
 * A. Turcotte's image resampling research on Jacobian adaptive
 * methods funded in part by an OGS (Ontario Graduate Scholarship) and
 * an NSERC Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate Scholarship awarded
 * to him, by GSoC (Google Summer of Code) 2010 funding awarded to
 * GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program), and by Laurentian University
 * research funding provided by N. Robidoux and Ralf Meyer.
 *
 * C. Racette's image resampling research and programming funded in
 * part by a NSERC Discovery Grant awarded to Julien Dompierre
 * (20-61098) and by a NSERC Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate
 * Scholarship awarded to her.
 *
 * N. Robidoux's development of fast formulas for the computation of
 * Mitchell-Netravali Keys cubic weights was funded in part by Pixel
 * Analytics Ltd.
 *
 * The programming of this and other GEGL samplers by N. Robidoux was
 * funded by a large number of freedomsponsors.org patrons, including
 * A. Prokoudine.
 *
 * In addition to the above, N. Robidoux thanks Craig DeForest,
 * Mathias Rauen, John Cupitt, Henry HO and Massimo Valentini for
 * useful comments, with special thanks to Cristy, the lead developer
 * of ImageMagick, for making it available as a platform for research
 * in image processing.

 * General convention:
 *
 * Looking at the image as a (linear algebra) matrix, the index j has
 * to do with the x-coordinate, that is, horizontal position, and the
 * index i has to do with the y-coordinate (which runs from top to
 * bottom), that is, the vertical position.
 *
 * However, in order to match the GIMP convention that states that
 * pixel indices match the position of the top left corner of the
 * corresponding pixel, so that the center of pixel (i,j) is located
 * at (i+1/2,j+1/2), pixel center positions do NOT match their index.

    /*
     * GOAL:
     * Fix things so that the pullback, in input space, of a disk of
     * radius r in output space is an ellipse which contains, at
     * least, a disc of radius r. (Make this hold for any r>0.)
     *
     * ESSENCE OF THE METHOD:
     * Compute the product of the first two factors of an SVD of the
     * linear transformation defining the ellipse and make sure that
     * both its columns have norm at least 1.  Because rotations and
     * reflexions map disks to themselves, it is not necessary to
     * compute the third (rightmost) factor of the SVD.
     *
     * DETAILS:
     * Find the singular values and (unit) left singular vectors of
     * Jinv, clamping up the singular values to 1, and multiply the
     * unit left singular vectors by the new singular values in
     * order to get the minor and major ellipse axis vectors.
     *
     * Image resampling context:
     *
     * The Jacobian matrix of the transformation at the output point
     * under consideration is defined as follows:
     *
     * Consider the transformation (x,y) -> (X,Y) from input
     * locations to output locations.
     *
     * The Jacobian matrix of the transformation at (x,y) is equal
     * to
     *
     *   J = [ A, B ] = [ dX/dx, dX/dy ]
     *       [ C, D ]   [ dY/dx, dY/dy ]
     *
     * that is, the vector [A,C] is the tangent vector corresponding
     * to input changes in the horizontal direction, and the vector
     * [B,D] is the tangent vector corresponding to input changes in
     * the vertical direction.
     *
     * In the context of resampling, it is natural to use the
     * inverse Jacobian matrix Jinv because resampling is generally
     * performed by pulling pixel locations in the output image back
     * to locations in the input image. Jinv is
     *
     *   Jinv = [ a, b ] = [ dx/dX, dx/dY ]
     *          [ c, d ]   [ dy/dX, dy/dY ]
     *
     * Note: Jinv can be computed from J with the following matrix
     * formula:
     *
     *   Jinv = 1/(A*D-B*C) [  D, -B ]
     *                      [ -C,  A ]
     *
     * What we do is modify Jinv so that it generates an ellipse
     * which is as close as possible to the original but which
     * contains the unit disk. This can be accomplished as follows:
     *
     * Let
     *
     *   Jinv = U Sigma V^T
     *
     * be an SVD decomposition of Jinv. (The SVD is not unique, but
     * the final ellipse does not depend on the particular SVD.)
     *
     * We could clamp up the entries of the diagonal matrix Sigma so
     * that they are at least 1, and then set
     *
     *   Jinv = U newSigma V^T.
     *
     * However, we do not need to compute V for the following
     * reason: V^T is an orthogonal matrix (that is, it represents a
     * combination of rotations and reflexions) so that it maps the
     * unit circle to itself. For this reason, the exact value of V
     * does not affect the final ellipse, and we can choose V to be
     * the identity matrix. This gives
     *
     *   Jinv = U newSigma.
     *
     * In the end, we return the two diagonal entries of newSigma
     * together with the two columns of U.

     * History:
     *
     * ClampUpAxes, the ImageMagick function (found in resample.c)
     * on which this is based, was written by Nicolas Robidoux and
     * Chantal Racette of Laurentian University with insightful
     * suggestions from Anthony Thyssen and funding from the
     * National Science and Engineering Research Council of
     * Canada. It is distinguished from its predecessors by its
     * efficient handling of degenerate cases.
     *
     * The idea of clamping up the EWA ellipse's major and minor
     * axes so that the result contains the reconstruction kernel
     * filter support is taken from Andreas Gustaffson's Masters
     * thesis "Interactive Image Warping", Helsinki University of
     * Technology, Faculty of Information Technology, 59 pages, 1993
     * (see Section 3.6).
     *
     * The use of the SVD to clamp up the singular values of the
     * Jacobian matrix of the pullback transformation for EWA
     * resampling is taken from the astrophysicist Craig DeForest.
     * It is implemented in his PDL::Transform code (PDL = Perl Data
     * Language).
