 *
 * <pre>
 * Notes:
 *      (1) The target width of the sliding window is 2 * %halfwin + 1.
 *          If necessary, this will be reduced by boxaWindowedMedian().
 *      (2) This returns a modified version of %boxas by constructing
 *          for each input box a box that has been smoothed with windowed
 *          median filtering.  The filtering is done to each of the
 *          box sides independently, and it is computed separately for
 *          sequences of even and odd boxes.  The output %boxad is
 *          constructed from the input boxa and the filtered boxa,
 *          depending on %subflag.  See boxaModifyWithBoxa() for
 *          details on the use of %subflag, %maxdiff and %extrapixels.
 *      (3) This is useful for removing noise separately in the even
 *          and odd sets, where the box edge locations can have
 *          discontinuities but otherwise vary roughly linearly within
 *          intervals of size %halfwin or larger.
 *      (4) If you don't need to handle even and odd sets separately,
 *          just do this:
 *              boxam = boxaWindowedMedian(boxas, halfwin, debug);
 *              boxad = boxaModifyWithBoxa(boxas, boxam, subflag, maxdiff,

 * \return  boxad  result after adjusting boxes in boxas, or NULL on error.
 *
 * <pre>
 * Notes:
 *      (1) This takes two input boxa (boxas, boxam) and constructs boxad,
 *          where each box in boxad is generated from the corresponding
 *          boxes in boxas and boxam.  The rule for constructing each
 *          output box depends on %subflag and %maxdiff.  Let boxs be
 *          a box from %boxas and boxm be a box from %boxam.
 *          * If %subflag == L_USE_MINSIZE: the output box is the intersection
 *            of the two input boxes.
 *          * If %subflag == L_USE_MAXSIZE: the output box is the union of the
 *            two input boxes; i.e., the minimum bounding rectangle for the
 *            two input boxes.
 *          * If %subflag == L_SUB_ON_LOC_DIFF: each side of the output box
 *            is found separately from the corresponding side of boxs and boxm.
 *            Use the boxm side, expanded by %extrapixels, if greater than
 *            %maxdiff pixels from the boxs side.
 *          * If %subflag == L_SUB_ON_SIZE_DIFF: the sides of the output box
 *            are determined in pairs from the width and height of boxs
 *            and boxm.  If the boxm width differs by more than %maxdiff
 *            pixels from boxs, use the boxm left and right sides,
 *            expanded by %extrapixels.  Ditto for the height difference.
 *          For the last two flags, each side of the output box is found
 *          separately from the corresponding side of boxs and boxm,
 *          according to these rules, where "smaller"("bigger") mean in a
 *          direction that decreases(increases) the size of the output box:
 *          * If %subflag == L_USE_CAPPED_MIN: use the Min of boxm
 *            with the Max of (boxs, boxm +- %maxdiff), where the sign
 *            is adjusted to make the box smaller (e.g., use "+" on left side).
 *          * If %subflag == L_USE_CAPPED_MAX: use the Max of boxm
 *            with the Min of (boxs, boxm +- %maxdiff), where the sign
 *            is adjusted to make the box bigger (e.g., use "-" on left side).
 *          Use of the last 2 flags is further explained in (3) and (4).
 *      (2) boxas and boxam must be the same size.  If boxam == NULL,
 *          this returns a copy of boxas with a warning.
 *      (3) If %subflag == L_SUB_ON_LOC_DIFF, use boxm for each side
 *          where the corresponding sides differ by more than %maxdiff.
 *          Two extreme cases:
 *          (a) set %maxdiff == 0 to use only values from boxam in boxad.
 *          (b) set %maxdiff == 10000 to ignore all values from boxam;
 *              then boxad will be the same as boxas.
 *      (4) If %subflag == L_USE_CAPPED_MAX: use boxm if boxs is smaller;
 *          use boxs if boxs is bigger than boxm by an amount up to %maxdiff;
 *          and use boxm +- %maxdiff (the 'capped' value) if boxs is
 *          bigger than boxm by an amount larger than %maxdiff.
 *          Similarly, with interchange of Min/Max and sign of %maxdiff,
 *          for %subflag == L_USE_CAPPED_MIN.
 *      (5) If either of corresponding boxes in boxas and boxam is invalid,
 *          an invalid box is copied to the result.
 *      (6) Typical input for boxam may be the output of boxaLinearFit().
 *          where outliers have been removed and each side is LS fit to a line.
 *      (7) Unlike boxaAdjustWidthToTarget() and boxaAdjustHeightToTarget(),
 *          this uses two boxes and does not specify target dimensions.

 *
 * <pre>
 * Notes:
 *      (1) This evaluates a boxa for particular types of dimensional
 *          variation.  Select either width or height variation.  Then
 *          it returns two numbers: one is based on pairwise (even/odd)
 *          variation; the other is based on the average variation
 *          from the boxa median.
 *      (2) For the pairwise variation, get the fraction of the absolute
 *          difference in dimension of each pair of boxes, and take
 *          the average value.  The median variation is simply the
 *          the average of the fractional deviation from the median
 *          of all the boxes.
 *      (3) Use 0 for default values of %threshp and %threshm.  They are
 *            threshp:  0.02
 *            threshm:  0.015
 *      (4) The intended application is that the boxes are a sequence of
 *          page regions in a book scan, and we calculate two numbers
 *          that can give an indication if the pages are approximately
 *          the same size.  The pairwise variation should be small if
 *          the boxes are correctly calculated.  If there are a
 *          significant number of random or systematic outliers, the
 *          pairwise variation will be large, and no decision will be made
 *          (i.e., return same == -1).  Here are the possible outcomes:
 *            Pairwise Var    Median Var    Decision
 *            ------------    ----------    --------
 *            small           small         same size  (1)
 *            small           large         different size  (0)

 * \brief   boxaReconcileSizeByMedian()
 *
 * \param[in]    boxas    containing at least 6 valid boxes
 * \param[in]    type     L_CHECK_WIDTH, L_CHECK_HEIGHT, L_CHECK_BOTH
 * \param[in]    dfract   threshold fraction of dimensional variation from
 *                        median; in range (0 ... 1); typ. about 0.05.
 * \param[in]    sfract   threshold fraction of side variation from median;
 *                        in range (0 ... 1); typ. about 0.04.
 * \param[in]    factor   expansion for fixed box beyond median width;
 *                        should be near 1.0.
 * \param[out]   pnadelw  [optional] diff from median width for boxes
 *                        above threshold
 * \param[out]   pnadelh  [optional] diff from median height for boxes
 *                        above threshold
 * \param[out]   pratiowh [optional] ratio of median width/height of boxas
 * \return  boxad  possibly adjusted from boxas; a copy of boxas on error
 *
 * <pre>
 * Notes:
 *      (1) The basic idea is to identify significant differences in box
 *          dimension (either width or height) and modify the outlier boxes.
 *      (2) %type specifies if we are reconciling the width, height or both.
 *      (3) %dfract specifies the tolerance for different dimensions. Any
 *          box with a fractional difference from the median size that
 *          exceeds %dfract will be altered.
 *      (4) %sfract specifies the tolerance for different side locations.
 *          If a box has been marked by (3) for alteration, any side
 *          location that differs from the median side location by
 *          more than %sfract of the median dimension (medw or medh)
 *          will be moved.
 *      (5) Median width and height are found for all valid boxes (i.e.,
 *          for all boxes with width and height > 0.
 *          Median side locations are found separately for even and odd boxes,
 *          using only boxes that are "inliers"; i.e., that have been
 *          found by (3) to be within tolerance for width or height.
 *      (6) If all box dimensions are within threshold of the median size,
 *          just return a copy.  Otherwise, box sides of the outliers
 *          will be adjusted.
 *      (7) Using %sfract, sides that are sufficiently far from the median
 *          are first moved to the median value.  Then they are moved
 *          together (in or out) so that the final box dimension
 *          is %factor times the median dimension.
 *      (8) The arrays that are the initial deviation from median size
 *          (width and height) are optionally returned.  Also optionally
 *          returned is the median w/h asperity ratio of the input %boxas.

 * \param[out]   pmedw    [optional] median width of all boxes

 * \param[out]   pnadelw  [optional] width diff of each box from median
 * \param[out]   pnadelh  [optional] height diff of each box from median
 * \return  0 if OK, 1 on error
 *
 * <pre>
 * Notes:
 *      (1) This provides information that (1) allows identification of
 *          boxes that have unusual (outlier) width or height, and (2) can
 *          be used to regularize the sizes of the outlier boxes, assuming
 *          that the boxes satisfy a fairly regular sequence and should
 *          mostly have the same width and height.
 *      (2) This finds the median width and height, as well as separate
 *          median widths and heights of even and odd boxes.  It also
 *          generates arrays that give the difference in width and height
 *          of each box from the median, which can be used to correct
 *          individual boxes.
 *      (3) All return values are optional.
 * </pre>
