/**
 * \class GaussianOperator
 * \brief A NeighborhoodOperator whose coefficients are a one
 * dimensional, discrete Gaussian kernel.
 *
 * GaussianOperator can be used to perform Gaussian blurring
 * by taking its inner product with to a Neighborhood
 * (NeighborhooIterator) that is swept across an image region.
 * It is a directional operator.  N successive applications
 * oriented along each dimensional direction will effect separable,
 * efficient, N-D Gaussian blurring of an image region.
 *
 * GaussianOperator takes two parameters:
 *
 * (1) The floating-point variance of the desired Gaussian function.
 *
 * (2) The "maximum error" allowed in the discrete Gaussian
 * function.  "Maximum errror" is defined as the difference between the area
 * under the discrete Gaussian curve and the area under the continuous
 * Gaussian. Maximum error affects the Gaussian operator size. Care should
 * be taken not to make this value too small relative to the variance
 * lest the operator size become unreasonably large.
 *
 * References:
 * The Gaussian kernel contained in this operator was described
 * by Tony Lindeberg (Discrete Scale-Space Theory and the Scale-Space
 * Primal Sketch.  Dissertation. Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm,
 * Sweden. May 1991.).
