 *      ==============================================================
 *      Page skew detection
 *
 *      Skew is determined by pixel profiles, which are computed
 *      as pixel sums along the raster line for each line in the
 *      image.  By vertically shearing the image by a given angle,
 *      the sums can be computed quickly along the raster lines
 *      rather than along lines at that angle.  The score is
 *      computed from these line sums by taking the square of
 *      the DIFFERENCE between adjacent line sums, summed over
 *      all lines.  The skew angle is then found as the angle
 *      that maximizes the score.  The actual computation for
 *      any sheared image is done in the function
 *      pixFindDifferentialSquareSum().
 *
 *      The search for the angle that maximizes this score is
 *      most efficiently performed by first sweeping coarsely
 *      over angles, using a significantly reduced image (say, 4x
 *      reduction), to find the approximate maximum within a half
 *      degree or so, and then doing an interval-halving binary
 *      search at higher resolution to get the skew angle to
 *      within 1/20 degree or better.
 *
 *      The differential signal is used (rather than just using
 *      that variance of line sums) because it rejects the
 *      background noise due to total number of black pixels,
 *      and has maximum contributions from the baselines and
 *      x-height lines of text when the textlines are aligned
 *      with the raster lines.  It also works well in multicolumn
 *      pages where the textlines do not line up across columns.
 *
 *      The method is fast, accurate to within an angle (in radians)
 *      of approximately the inverse width in pixels of the image,
 *      and will work on a surprisingly small amount of text data
 *      (just a couple of text lines).  Consequently, it can
 *      also be used to find local skew if the skew were to vary
 *      significantly over the page.  Local skew determination
 *      is not very important except for locating lines of
 *      handwritten text that may be mixed with printed text.

 *      (2) There are two built-in constants that determine if the

 *            - MIN_VALID_MAXSCORE (minimum allowed maxscore)
 *            - MINSCORE_THRESHOLD_CONSTANT (determines minimum allowed
 *                 minscore, by multiplying by (height * width^2)
 *          If either of these conditions is not satisfied, the returned
 *          confidence value will be zero.  The maxscore is optionally
 *          returned in this function to allow evaluation of the
 *          resulting angle by a method that is independent of the
 *          returned confidence value.
 *      (3) The larger the confidence value, the greater the probability
 *          that the proper alignment is given by the angle that maximizes
 *          variance.  It should be compared to a threshold, which depends
 *          on the application.  Values between 3.0 and 6.0 are common.
 *      (4) By default, the shear is about the UL corner.

 *                          confidence value)
 *      Return: 0 if OK, 1 on error or if angle measurment not valid
 *
 *  Notes:
 *      (1) This searches for the skew angle, first in the range
 *          [-sweeprange, sweeprange], and then in
 *          [90 - sweeprange, 90 + sweeprange], with angles measured
 *          clockwise.  For exploring the full range of possibilities,
 *          suggest using sweeprange = 47.0 degrees, giving some overlap
 *          at 45 and 135 degrees.  From these results, and discounting
 *          the the second confidence by @confprior, it selects the
 *          angle for maximal differential variance.  If the angle
 *          is larger than pi/4, the angle found after 90 degree rotation
 *          is selected.
 *      (2) The larger the confidence value, the greater the probability
 *          that the proper alignment is given by the angle that maximizes
 *          variance.  It should be compared to a threshold, which depends
 *          on the application.  Values between 3.0 and 6.0 are common.
 *      (3) Allowing for both portrait and landscape searches is more
 *          difficult, because if the signal from the text lines is weak,
 *          a signal from vertical rules can be larger!
 *          The most difficult documents to deskew have some or all of:
 *            (a) Multiple columns, not aligned
 *            (b) Black lines along the vertical edges
 *            (c) Text from two pages, and at different angles
 *          Rule of thumb for resolution:
 *            (a) If the margins are clean, you can work at 75 ppi,
 *                although 100 ppi is safer.
 *            (b) If there are vertical lines in the margins, do not
 *                work below 150 ppi.  The signal from the text lines must
 *                exceed that from the margin lines.
 *      (4) Choosing the @confprior parameter depends on knowing something
 *          about the source of image.  However, we're not using
 *          real probabilities here, so its use is qualitative.
 *          If landscape and portrait are equally likely, use
 *          @confprior = 0.0.  If the likelihood of portrait (non-rotated)
 *          is 100 times higher than that of landscape, we want to reduce
 *          the chance that we rotate to landscape in a situation where
 *          the landscape signal is accidentally larger than the
 *          portrait signal.  To do this use a positive value of
 *          @confprior; say 1.5.
