Automated selection of `window_size` and `resolution` #66

With highly turbulent flows patterns matching may require larger interrogation windows. Automated by doing a short velocimetry estimate with filtering over only a few frames with different settings.

Hi I have a problem with selecting the optimal values for window_size and target resolution. My river width is around 50 m and the discharge is 130 (m3/s) so, the real flow velocity is around 2(m/s) in reality. I have used OpenRiverCam and I selected window_size = 70 with different target resolution = 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08 and for each target resolution the mean discharge (quantile 2) shows different value. and the same for changing window_size with fix target resolution. However, changing mean v_eff is not that much and is from 2.2 to 2.4. I am not sure which window_size and target resolution would be the optimum values for this river. Also, why when I changed the window_size and target resolution, discharge shows more fluctuations in comparison with v_eff??
