An example using the image alignment ECC algorithm

/*
* This sample demonstrates the use of the function
* findTransformECC that implements the image alignment ECC algorithm
*
*
* The demo loads an image (defaults to fruits.jpg) and it artificially creates
* a template image based on the given motion type. When two images are given,
* the first image is the input image and the second one defines the template image.
* In the latter case, you can also parse the warp's initialization.
*
* Input and output warp files consist of the raw warp (transform) elements
*
