REQUIREMENTS ON image_scanner_type
image_scanner_type must be an implementation of
dlib/image_processing/scan_fhog_pyramid_abstract.h or

WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
This object is a tool for learning to detect objects in images based on a
set of labeled images. The training procedure produces an object_detector
which can be used to predict the locations of objects in new images.
Note that this is just a convenience wrapper around the structural_svm_object_detection_problem
to make it look similar to all the other trainers in dlib.
