       \param patch_size = radius of the patch (1=3x3 by default)
       \param lambda = bandwidth ( -1 by default : automatic selection)
       \param alpha  = size of the region where similar patch are searched (3 x patch_size = 9x9 by default)
       \param sigma = noise standard deviation (-1 = estimation)
       \param sampling = sampling of the patch (1 = uses all point, 2 = uses one point on 4, etc)
       If the image has three dimensions then the patch is only in  2D and the neighborhood extent in time is only 5.
       If the image has several channel (color images), the distance between the two patch is computed using
       all the channels.
       The greater the patch is the best is the result.
       Lambda parameter is function of the size of the patch size. The automatic Lambda parameter is taken
       in the Chi2 table at a significiance level of 0.01. This diffear from the original paper [1]. The weighted average becomes then:
       \f$$ \hat{f}(x,y) = \sum_{x',y'} \frac{1}{Z} exp(\frac{P(x,y)-P(x',y')}{2 \lambda \sigma^2}) f(x',y') $$\f
       where \f$ P(x,y) $\f denotes the patch in (x,y) location.

       An a priori is also used to increase the speed of the algorithm in the spirit of Sapiro et al. SPletter dec 05

       This very basic version of the Non-Local Means algorithm provides an output image which contains
       some residual noise with a relatively small variance (\f$\sigma<5$\f).
