/**
 * Captures frames from an image stream as an OpenGL ES texture.
 *
 * <p>The image stream may come from either camera preview or video decode.  A SurfaceTexture
 * may be used in place of a SurfaceHolder when specifying the output destination of a
 * {@link android.hardware.Camera} or {@link android.media.MediaPlayer}
 * object.  Doing so will cause all the frames from the image stream to be sent to the
 * SurfaceTexture object rather than to the device's display.  When {@link #updateTexImage} is
 * called, the contents of the texture object specified when the SurfaceTexture was created are
 * updated to contain the most recent image from the image stream.  This may cause some frames of
 * the stream to be skipped.
 *
 * <p>When sampling from the texture one should first transform the texture coordinates using the
 * matrix queried via {@link #getTransformMatrix}.  The transform matrix may change each time {@link
 * #updateTexImage} is called, so it should be re-queried each time the texture image is updated.
 * This matrix transforms traditional 2D OpenGL ES texture coordinate column vectors of the form (s,
 * t, 0, 1) where s and t are on the inclusive interval [0, 1] to the proper sampling location in
 * the streamed texture.  This transform compensates for any properties of the image stream source
 * that cause it to appear different from a traditional OpenGL ES texture.  For example, sampling
 * from the bottom left corner of the image can be accomplished by transforming the column vector
 * (0, 0, 0, 1) using the queried matrix, while sampling from the top right corner of the image can
 * be done by transforming (1, 1, 0, 1).
 *
 * <p>The texture object uses the GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES texture target, which is defined by the
 * <a href="http://www.khronos.org/registry/gles/extensions/OES/OES_EGL_image_external.txt">
 * GL_OES_EGL_image_external</a> OpenGL ES extension.  This limits how the texture may be used.
 * Each time the texture is bound it must be bound to the GL_TEXTURE_EXTERNAL_OES target rather than
 * the GL_TEXTURE_2D target.  Additionally, any OpenGL ES 2.0 shader that samples from the texture
 * must declare its use of this extension using, for example, an "#extension
 * GL_OES_EGL_image_external : require" directive.  Such shaders must also access the texture using
 * the samplerExternalOES GLSL sampler type.
 *
 * <p>SurfaceTexture objects may be created on any thread.  {@link #updateTexImage} may only be
 * called on the thread with the OpenGL ES context that contains the texture object.  The
 * frame-available callback is called on an arbitrary thread, so unless special care is taken {@link
 * #updateTexImage} should not be called directly from the callback.
