Detailed Description
       This depends on Metal.framework	Specifies the spatial normalization filter. The spatial normalization for a feature channel applies the
       filter over local regions which extend spatially, but are in separate feature channels (i.e., they have shape 1 x kernelWidth x
       kernelHeight). For each feature channel, the function computes the sum of squares of X inside each rectangle, N2(i,j). It then divides each
       element of X as follows: Y(i,j) = X(i,j) / (delta + alpha/(kw*kh) * N2(i,j))^beta, where kw and kh are the kernelWidth and the
       kernelHeight. It is the end-users responsibility to ensure that the combination of the parameters delta and alpha does not result in a
       situation where the denominator becomes zero - in such situations the resulting pixel-value is undefined.

Method Documentation
   - (nullable instancetype) initWithCoder: (NSCoder *__nonnull) aDecoder(nonnull id< MTLDevice >) device
       NSSecureCoding compatability  While the standard NSSecureCoding/NSCoding method -initWithCoder: should work, since the file can't know
       which device your data is allocated on, we have to guess and may guess incorrectly. To avoid that problem, use initWithCoder:device
       instead.

       Parameters:
	   aDecoder The NSCoder subclass with your serialized MPSKernel
	   device The MTLDevice on which to make the MPSKernel

       Returns:
	   A new MPSKernel object, or nil if failure.

       Reimplemented from MPSCNNKernel.

   - (nonnull instancetype) initWithDevice: (nonnull id< MTLDevice >) device
       Standard init with default properties per filter type

       Parameters:
	   device The device that the filter will be used on. May not be NULL.

       Returns:
	   A pointer to the newly initialized object. This will fail, returning nil if the device is not supported. Devices must be
	   MTLFeatureSet_iOS_GPUFamily2_v1 or later.

       Reimplemented from MPSCNNKernel.

   - (nonnull instancetype) initWithDevice: (nonnull id< MTLDevice >) device(NSUInteger) kernelWidth(NSUInteger) kernelHeight
       Initialize a spatial normalization filter

       Parameters:
	   device The device the filter will run on
	   kernelWidth The width of the kernel
	   kernelHeight The height of the kernel

       Returns:
	   A valid MPSCNNSpatialNormalization object or nil, if failure.

       NOTE: For now, kernelWidth must be equal to kernelHeight

Property Documentation
   - alpha [read],  [write],  [nonatomic],  [assign]
       The value of alpha. Default is 1.0. Must be non-negative.

   - beta [read],  [write],  [nonatomic],  [assign]
       The value of beta. Default is 5.0

   - delta [read],  [write],  [nonatomic],  [assign]
       The value of delta. Default is 1.0

   - kernelHeight [read],  [nonatomic],  [assign]
       The height of the filter window

   - kernelWidth [read],  [nonatomic],	[assign]
       The width of the filter window
