Private Member Functions
bool	addCandidate (const Run &pinkRun)
	Adds a pink run to the list of candidates.
void	scanForPink (const Vector2< int > &start, const Vector2< int > &end)
	Scans along a line.

void	analyzeBeacon (const Vector2< double > &left, const double pinkRunWidth)
	Tries to detect a beacon near a pink part.
int	scanForBeaconEdges (const Vector2< int > &position, const double pinkRunWidth, Flag::FlagType &flagType, Vector2< int > &topEdge, Vector2< int > &bottomEdge)
	Looks for the vertical edges and the color type of a beacon.

	The camera matrix.
const CameraMatrix &	prevCameraMatrix
	The previous camera matrix.
const ImageInfo &	imageInf
	Additional Image information.
const ColorTable &	colorTable
	The color table.
LandmarksPercept &	landmarksPercept
	The landmarks percept.
int	numOfBeaconCandidates
	The number of possible beacons.
Run	beaconCandidates [MAX_NUMBER_OF_PINK_RUNS]
	The list of candidates.
