and rectangle is the optimizer failure within our settings. The 
circle shows one of the failure cases from this type. The area 
after rectangle shows the rejection boundaries. The method is 
robust before the specific amount of illumination variation 
which is indicated by star. All the normalized parameter errors 
are also zero.
