Far be it for me to suggest modifying their algorithm... But...

• If you used variable sized centred windows (4,6,8,10) and calculated

the weight for each window. There will be a window size where the weight flips. This might suggest an improvement to the heursistic where the state is constant for two scales in a row.

• Another approach might be to perturb the center point of the window by 1

position in all 8 directions and take the majority weight in the 8x8 case. I did not calculate this - just a hunch. But I think the first may work better...

Each heuristic favors one feature of the original graphic. I can change the library API to allow users to "tune" the "strenth" of each heuristic. The default values would be the ones from the paper.

I think this may everyone win. What do you guys say?
