Draft: Quantile filtering #81

Currently the minimum value of each column in the depthimage was used to calculate the distance values.

When dealing with noisy data it is benefitial to use e.g. the 10% quantile instead of the minimum value. This way we still get accurate data but ignore noise/outliers.

The parameter quantile_value controls which quantile should be used.

Well, seems I did something stupid... I tried to retroactively change the author data (name/email) of my commits because I used the wrong account for the commits. It seems that that did not got as planned. I will create a fresh merge request and do it the proper way.
