-   Final stage of contour processing.
-   Three variants possible:
-      1. Contour, which was retrieved using border following, is added to
-         the contour tree. It is the case when the icvSubstituteContour function
-         was not called after retrieving the contour.
-
-      2. New contour, assigned by icvSubstituteContour function, is added to the
-         tree. The retrieved contour itself is removed from the storage.
-         Here two cases are possible:
-            2a. If one deals with plane variant of algorithm
-                (hierarchical strucutre is not reconstructed),
-                the contour is removed completely.
-            2b. In hierarchical case, the header of the contour is not removed.
-                It's marked as "link to contour" and h_next pointer of it is set to
-                new, substituting contour.
-
-      3. The similar to 2, but when NULL pointer was assigned by
-         icvSubstituteContour function. In this case, the function removes
-         retrieved contour completely if plane case and
-         leaves header if hierarchical (but doesn't mark header as "link").
-      ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-      The 1st variant can be used to retrieve and store all the contours from the image
-      (with optional convertion from chains to contours using some approximation from
-      restriced set of methods). Some characteristics of contour can be computed in the
-      same pass.
-
-      The usage scheme can look like:
-
-      icvContourScanner scanner;
-      CvMemStorage*  contour_storage;
-      CvSeq*  first_contour;
-      CvStatus  result;
-
-      ...
-
-      icvCreateMemStorage( &contour_storage, block_size/0 );
-
-      ...
-
-      cvStartFindContours
-              ( img, contour_storage,
-                header_size, approx_method,
-                [external_only,]
-                &scanner );
-
-      for(;;)
-      {
-          [CvSeq* contour;]
-          result = icvFindNextContour( &scanner, &contour/0 );
-
-          if( result != CV_OK ) break;
-
-          // calculate some characteristics
-          ...
-      }
-
-      if( result < 0 ) goto error_processing;
-
-      cvEndFindContours( &scanner, &first_contour );
-      ...
-
-      -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-      Second variant is more complex and can be used when someone wants store not
-      the retrieved contours but transformed ones. (e.g. approximated with some
-      non-default algorithm ).
-
-      The scheme can be the as following:
-
-      icvContourScanner scanner;
-      CvMemStorage*  contour_storage;
-      CvMemStorage*  temp_storage;
-      CvSeq*  first_contour;
-      CvStatus  result;
-
-      ...
-
-      icvCreateMemStorage( &contour_storage, block_size/0 );
-      icvCreateMemStorage( &temp_storage, block_size/0 );
-
-      ...
-
-      icvStartFindContours8uC1R
-              ( <img_params>, temp_storage,
-                header_size, approx_method,
-                [retrival_mode],
-                &scanner );
-
-      for(;;)
-      {
-          CvSeq* temp_contour;
-          CvSeq* new_contour;
-          result = icvFindNextContour( scanner, &temp_contour );
-
-          if( result != CV_OK ) break;
-
-          <approximation_function>( temp_contour, contour_storage,
-                                    &new_contour, <parameters...> );
-
-          icvSubstituteContour( scanner, new_contour );
-          ...
-      }
-
-      if( result < 0 ) goto error_processing;
-
-      cvEndFindContours( &scanner, &first_contour );
-      ...
-
-      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-      Third method to retrieve contours may be applied if contours are irrelevant
-      themselves but some characteristics of them are used only.
-      The usage is similar to second except slightly different internal loop
-
-      for(;;)
-      {
-          CvSeq* temp_contour;
-          result = icvFindNextContour( &scanner, &temp_contour );
-
-          if( result != CV_OK ) break;
-
-          // calculate some characteristics of temp_contour
-
-          icvSubstituteContour( scanner, 0 );
-          ...
-      }
-
-      new_storage variable is not needed here.
-
-      Two notes.
-      1. Second and third method can interleave. I.e. it is possible to
-         remain contours that satisfy with some criteria and reject others.
-         In hierarchic case the resulting tree is the part of original tree with
-         some nodes absent. But in the resulting tree the contour1 is a child
-         (may be indirect) of contour2 iff in the original tree the contour1
-         is a child (may be indirect) of contour2.
