 A valid input is a single plane of grayscale values located in host memory.

+Only host memory limits the number of images that can be enqueued.
 The `enqueue` function returns a pointer to a `SiftJob` immediately and performs the feature extraction asynchronously.
 The memory of the image passed to enqueue remains the caller's responsibility. Calling `SiftJob::get` on the returned job blocks until features are extracted, and returns them.

+Features offer iterators that iterate over objects of type `Feature`.
+Both classes are documented in `sift_extremum.h`.
 Each feature represents a feature point in the coordinate system of the input image, providing X and Y coordinates and scale (sigma), as well as several alternative descriptors for the feature point (according to Lowe, 15% of the feature points should be expected to have 2 or more descriptors).
 
 In an alternate, deprecated, blocking API, `init()` must be called to pass image width and height to PopSift, followed by a call to `executed()` that takes image data and returns the extracted features. `execute()` is synchronous and blocking.
