Tool Histogram Matching

This tool alters the values of a grid so that its value distribution (its histogram), matches that of a reference grid. The first method simply uses arithmetic mean and standard deviation for adjustment, which usually is sufficient for normal distributed values. The second method performs a more precise adjustment based on the grids' histograms.
