375// The HFR values passed in to these focus algorithms are simply the mean or median HFR values
376// for all stars detected (with some other constraints). However, due to randomness in the
377// star detection scheme, two sets of star measurements may use different sets of actual stars to
378// compute their mean HFRs. This adds noise to determining best focus (e.g. including a
379// wider star in one set but not the other will tend to increase the HFR for that star set).
380// relativeHFR tries to correct for this by comparing two sets of stars only using their common stars.
381//
382// The Solution:
383// We maintain a reference set of stars, along with the HFR computed for those reference stars (bestRelativeHFR).
384// We find the common set of stars between an input star set and those reference stars. We compute
385// HFRs for the input stars in that common set, and for the reference common set as well.
386// The ratio of those common-set HFRs multiply bestRelativeHFR to generate the relative HFR for this
387// input star set--that is, it's the HFR "relative to the reference set". E.g. if the common-set HFR
388// for the input stars is twice worse than that from the reference common stars, then the relative HFR
389// would be 2 * bestRelativeHFR.
390// The reference set is the best HFR set of stars seen so far, but only from the 1st pass.
391// Thus, in the 2nd pass, the reference stars would be the best HFR set from the 1st pass.
