     Channels:
       chnsCompute  - Compute channel features at a single scale given an input image.
       chnsPyramid  - Compute channel feature pyramid given an input image.
       chnsScaling  - Compute lambdas for channel power law scaling.

     Constant time image smoothing:
       convBox      - Extremely fast 2D image convolution with a box filter.
       convMax      - Extremely fast 2D image convolution with a max filter.
       convTri      - Extremely fast 2D image convolution with a triangle filter.

     Gradients and gradient histograms:
       gradient2    - Compute numerical gradients along x and y directions.
       gradientHist - Compute oriented gradient histograms.
       gradientMag  - Compute gradient magnitude and orientation at each image location.
       hog          - Efficiently compute histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) features.
       hogDraw      - Create visualization of hog descriptor.
       fhog         - Efficiently compute Felzenszwalb's HOG (FHOG) features.

     Miscellaneous:
       imPad        - Pad an image along its four boundaries.
       imResample   - Fast bilinear image downsampling/upsampling.
       rgbConvert   - Convert RGB image to other color spaces (highly optimized).
