// The LossFunction interface is the way users describe how residuals
// are converted to cost terms for the overall problem cost function.
// For the exact manner in which loss functions are converted to the
// overall cost for a problem, see problem.h.
//
// For least squares problem where there are no outliers and standard
// squared loss is expected, it is not necessary to create a loss
// function; instead passing a NULL to the problem when adding
// residuals implies a standard squared loss.
//
// For least squares problems where the minimization may encounter
// input terms that contain outliers, that is, completely bogus
// measurements, it is important to use a loss function that reduces
// their associated penalty.
//
// Consider a structure from motion problem. The unknowns are 3D
// points and camera parameters, and the measurements are image
// coordinates describing the expected reprojected position for a
// point in a camera. For example, we want to model the geometry of a
// street scene with fire hydrants and cars, observed by a moving
// camera with unknown parameters, and the only 3D points we care
// about are the pointy tippy-tops of the fire hydrants. Our magic
// image processing algorithm, which is responsible for producing the
// measurements that are input to Ceres, has found and matched all
// such tippy-tops in all image frames, except that in one of the
// frame it mistook a car's headlight for a hydrant. If we didn't do
// anything special (i.e. if we used a basic quadratic loss), the
// residual for the erroneous measurement will result in extreme error
// due to the quadratic nature of squared loss. This results in the
// entire solution getting pulled away from the optimimum to reduce
// the large error that would otherwise be attributed to the wrong
// measurement.
//
// Using a robust loss function, the cost for large residuals is
// reduced. In the example above, this leads to outlier terms getting
// downweighted so they do not overly influence the final solution.
//
// What cost function is best?
//
// In general, there isn't a principled way to select a robust loss
// function. The authors suggest starting with a non-robust cost, then
// only experimenting with robust loss functions if standard squared
// loss doesn't work.

// Scaling
// -------
// Given one robustifier
//   s -> rho(s)
// one can change the length scale at which robustification takes
// place, by adding a scale factor 'a' as follows:
//
//   s -> a^2 rho(s / a^2).
//
// The first and second derivatives are:
//
//   s -> rho'(s / a^2),
//   s -> (1 / a^2) rho''(s / a^2),
//
// but the behaviour near s = 0 is the same as the original function,
// i.e.
//
//   rho(s) = s + higher order terms,
//   a^2 rho(s / a^2) = s + higher order terms.
//
// The scalar 'a' should be positive.
//
// The reason for the appearance of squaring is that 'a' is in the
// units of the residual vector norm whereas 's' is a squared
// norm. For applications it is more convenient to specify 'a' than
// its square. The commonly used robustifiers below are described in
// un-scaled format (a = 1) but their implementations work for any
// non-zero value of 'a'.
