        `rasl` is a python implementation of the batch image alignment technique
        described in:
        
        Y. Peng, A. Ganesh, J. Wright, W. Xu, Y. Ma, "Robust Alignment by
           Sparse and Low-rank Decomposition for Linearly Correlated Images",
           IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI) 2011
        
        The paper describes a technique for aligning images of objects varying
        in illumination and projection, possibly with occlusions (such as
        facial images at varying angles, some including eyeglasses or
        hair). RASL seeks transformations or deformations that will best
        superimpose a batch of images, with pixel accuracy where possible. It
        solves this problem by decomposing the image matrix into a dense
        low-rank component (analogous to "eigenfaces" in face-recognition
        literature) combined with a sparse error matrix representing any
        occlusions. The decomposition is accomplished with a robust form of
        PCA via Principal Components Pursuit.
