## Detailed Description

n-Dimensional Dense Matrix Iterator Class.

The class cv::NAryMatIterator is used for iterating over one or more n-dimensional dense arrays (cv::Mat's).

The iterator is completely different from cv::Mat_ and cv::SparseMat_ iterators. It iterates through the slices (or planes), not the elements, where "slice" is a continuous part of the arrays.

Here is the example on how the iterator can be used to normalize 3D histogram:

     void normalizeColorHist(Mat& hist)
     {
     #if 1
         // intialize iterator (the style is different from STL).
         // after initialization the iterator will contain
         // the number of slices or planes
         // the iterator will go through
         Mat* arrays[] = { &hist, 0 };
         Mat planes[1];
         NAryMatIterator it(arrays, planes);
         double s = 0;
         // iterate through the matrix. on each iteration
         // it.planes[i] (of type Mat) will be set to the current plane of
         // i-th n-dim matrix passed to the iterator constructor.
         for(int p = 0; p < it.nplanes; p++, ++it)
            s += sum(it.planes[0])[0];
         it = NAryMatIterator(hist);
         s = 1./s;
         for(int p = 0; p < it.nplanes; p++, ++it)
            it.planes[0] *= s;
     #elif 1
         // this is a shorter implementation of the above
         // using built-in operations on Mat
         double s = sum(hist)[0];
         hist.convertTo(hist, hist.type(), 1./s, 0);
     #else
         // and this is even shorter one
         // (assuming that the histogram elements are non-negative)
         normalize(hist, hist, 1, 0, NORM_L1);
     #endif
     }

You can iterate through several matrices simultaneously as long as they have the same geometry (dimensionality and all the dimension sizes are the same), which is useful for binary and n-ary operations on such matrices. Just pass those matrices to cv::MatNDIterator. Then, during the iteration it.planes[0], it.planes[1], ... will be the slices of the corresponding matrices
