// Simple struct to hold the 3 values needed to compute a more precise edge
// position and direction. The offset_numerator is the difference between the
// grey threshold and the mean pixel value. pixel_diff is the difference between
// the pixels in the edge. Consider the following row of pixels: p1 p2 p3 p4 p5
// Say the image was thresholded  at threshold t, making p1, p2, p3 black
// and p4, p5 white (p1, p2, p3 < t, and p4, p5 >= t), but suppose that
// max(p[i+1] - p[i]) is p3 - p2. Then the extrapolated position of the edge,
// based on the maximum gradient, is at the crack between p2 and p3 plus the
// offset (t - (p2+p3)/2)/(p3 - p2). We store the pixel difference p3-p2
// denominator in pixel_diff and the offset numerator, relative to the original
// binary edge (t - (p2+p3)/2) - (p3 -p2) in offset_numerator.
// The sign of offset_numerator and pixel_diff are manipulated to ensure
// that the pixel_diff, which will be used as a weight, is always positive.
// The direction stores the quantized feature direction for the given step
// computed from the edge gradient. (Using binary_angle_plus_pi.)
// If the pixel_diff is zero, it means that the direction of the gradient
// is in conflict with the step direction, so this step is to be ignored.
