/** A class for storing an occupancy grid map.
 *  COccupancyGridMap2D is a class for storing a metric map
 *   representation in the form of a probabilistic occupancy
 *   grid map: value of 0 means certainly occupied, 1 means
 *   a certainly empty cell. Initially 0.5 means uncertainty.
 *
 * The cells keep the log-odd representation of probabilities instead of the
 *probabilities themselves.
 *  More details can be found at http://www.mrpt.org/Occupancy_Grids
 *
 * The algorithm for updating the grid from a laser scanner can optionally take
 *into account the progressive widening of the beams, as
 *   described in [this page](http://www.mrpt.org/Occupancy_Grids)
 *
 *   Some implemented methods are:
 *      - Update of individual cells
 *      - Insertion of observations
 *      - Voronoi diagram and critical points (\a buildVoronoiDiagram)
 *      - Saving and loading from/to a bitmap
 *      - Laser scans simulation for the map contents
 *      - Entropy and information methods (See computeEntropy)
