 * OpenCV functions for MSER extraction
 *
 * 1. there are two different implementation of MSER, one for gray image, one for color image
 * 2. the gray image algorithm is taken from: Linear Time Maximally Stable Extremal Regions;
 *    the paper claims to be faster than union-find method;
 *    it actually get 1.5~2m/s on my centrino L7200 1.2GHz laptop.
 * 3. the color image algorithm is taken from: Maximally Stable Colour Regions for Recognition and Match;
 *    it should be much slower than gray image method ( 3~4 times );
 *    the chi_table.h file is taken directly from paper's source code which is distributed under GPL.
 * 4. though the name is *contours*, the result actually is a list of point set.
