+ *   to detect local edge direction, then shapes an approximate Lanczos2 kernel into an
+ *   ellipse aligned with the detected edge.
+ * - **RCAS** (Robust Contrast-Adaptive Sharpening): Uses a 5-tap cross pattern to apply
+ *   contrast-aware sharpening that is automatically limited per-pixel to avoid artifacts.
