  //  used by the Gaussian smoothing stage. This value is provided in the

  //  filter expects the acceptable error for computing the approximation to
  //  the Gaussian kernel. This error is expected to be in the range between 0
  //  and 1. Values outside that range will result in Exceptions being thrown.
