/**
 * 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.
 * 
 * At the moment this only looks for the bottom-right alignment pattern.
 * 
 * This is mostly a simplified copy of {@link FinderPatternFinder}. It is copied,
 * pasted and stripped down here for maximum performance but does unfortunately duplicate
 * some code.
 * 
 * This class is thread-safe but not reentrant. Each thread must allocate its own object.
