This class attempts to find alignment patterns in a QR Code. Alignment patterns look like finder /// patterns but are smaller and appear at regular intervals throughout the image.

///This method attempts to find the bottom-right alignment pattern in the image. It is a bit messy since /// it's pretty performance-critical and so is written to be fast foremost.
///After a horizontal scan finds a potential alignment pattern, this method /// "cross-checks" by scanning down vertically through the center of the possible /// alignment pattern to see if the same proportion is detected.
///This is called when a horizontal scan finds a possible alignment pattern. It will /// cross check with a vertical scan, and if successful, will see if this pattern had been /// found on a previous horizontal scan. If so, we consider it confirmed and conclude we have /// found the alignment pattern.
