      \brief A region of interest (often abbreviated ROI), is a selected subset of

            An ROI can be taken literally as a polygonal selection from a 2D map. 
            In computer vision and optical character recognition, the ROI defines the borders 
            of an object under consideration. In many applications, symbolic (textual) labels 
            are added to a ROI, to describe its content in a compact manner.
            
            Within an ROI may lie individual points of interest (POIs).

            In this first version, the region will be represented only by polygons.
