Euler deconvolution with expanding windows

The usual approach to Euler deconvolution using a moving window scheme produces a lot of spurious solutions. This is expected because we are running the deconvolution once per window for the whole area. We don't specify the number of sources that we expect and the deconvolution doesn't give us that information.

An alternate approach is to use an expanding window scheme. It runs the deconvolution on a number of windows expanding from a given central point. We choose only one of the solutions as the final estimate (the one with the smallest error). This approach will give you a single solution. You can interpret multiple bodies by selecting multiple expanding window centers, one for each anomaly.

The expanding window scheme is implemented in geoist.pfm.euler.EulerDeconvEW.
