/**
 * @todo
 * - better automatic defaults? see "Parameters" @ http://www.ipol.im/pub/art/2011/bcm_nlm/
 * - temporal support (probably doesn't need any displacement according to
 *   "Denoising image sequences does not require motion estimation")
 * - Bayer pixel format support for at least raw photos? (DNG support would be
 *   handy here)
 * - FATE test (probably needs visual threshold test mechanism due to the use
 *   of floats)
