24  * @brief Takes a set of optical flow vectors and extracts information such as relative velocities and surface roughness.
25  *
26  * A horizontal and vertical linear fit is made with the optical flow vectors, and from the fit parameters information is extracted such as relative velocities (useful for time-to-contact determination), slope angle, and surface roughness.
27  *
28  * Code based on the article:
29  * "Optic-flow based slope estimation for autonomous landing",
30  * de Croon, G.C.H.E., and Ho, H.W., and De Wagter, C., and van Kampen, E., and Remes B., and Chu, Q.P.,
