I think a 2 dimensional histogram on a 16 bit image would have too much
space overhead, but we know the image size would always be an upper cap on
the bins necessary hence I had proposed using hashing.
Although, I am ready to start with using a vector if that is the best under
present circumstances. Please let me know of your thoughts on this. I will
start the implementation tonight.
Thanks.
