/** @brief class which allows the Gipsa/Listic Labs model to be used with OpenCV.

This retina model allows spatio-temporal image processing (applied on still images, video sequences).
As a summary, these are the retina model properties:
- It applies a spectral whithening (mid-frequency details enhancement)
- high frequency spatio-temporal noise reduction
- low frequency luminance to be reduced (luminance range compression)
- local logarithmic luminance compression allows details to be enhanced in low light conditions

USE : this model can be used basically for spatio-temporal video effects but also for :
     _using the getParvo method output matrix : texture analysiswith enhanced signal to noise ratio and enhanced details robust against input images luminance ranges
     _using the getMagno method output matrix : motion analysis also with the previously cited properties
