  /** image parameters can be found by three different means:
      -# <b>Encoded into the file name.</b> When using the ICLFileWriter to write
         csv files, it can be set up to encode the images parameter into the
         filename using a string extension of the underlying filename. The 
         following pattern is used for this: 
         "DIR/ORIG_FILE_BASE_NANE-ICL:WxHxC:DEPTH:format.csv"
      -# <b>As comment block</b> Although the CSV-file convention does not
         include comments, a common standard is to add a "#"-character to signal
         comment lines. By this means, a default ".icl"-header can be used to 
         define an csv-images shape and parameters.
      -# <b>Interpret a csv file as matrix data</b> If no of the other two
         possibilities were successful to determine a csv-image's size, the
         file is interpreted as double-matrix. The line count of the matrix defines
         the image height; its horizontal comma-separated token count defines its
         width.
