Help for MPFFILLIN

PURPOSE:
To edit erroneous points based upon range statistics.
To fill in gores (empty regions) in xyz files generated by program MPFXYZ.

EXECUTION:
mpftpt inp=(left,right) out=(line_disparity,sample_disparity,mask) ...
mpfxyz inp=(left,right,line_disparity,sample_disparity)    out=(x.img,y.img,z.img,error.img) parameters
mpffillin inp=(x.img,y.img,z.img) out=(x.img,y.img,z.img)


METHOD:

(mode 1 or 3)
Each xyz value is converted to a range value.
Each picture line of range values is fit to a line relating range to sample.
Points are removed which deviate from the line by F*sigma where F is
provided by the SIGMA parameter.


(mode 2 or 3)
From each empty pixel the program searches outward in 8 directions to locate
the nearest populated border. It then computes the range R (in pixels) to the 
8 border points. The value at the empty location is then weighted from:

DN = sum(dn(i)/R(i)**2) / sum(1/R(i)**2)    sum from 1 to 8

dn represents either x, y, or z.
