 /**
- * \struct IspStatsRegion
+ * \struct Accumulator
  * \brief RGB statistics for a given region
  *
- * The IspStatsRegion structure is intended to abstract the ISP specific
- * statistics and use an agnostic algorithm to compute AWB.
+ * A frame is divided into zones, each zone is made of multiple regions which
+ * are defined by the grid configuration. The algorithm works with a fixed
+ * number of zones \a kAwbStatsSizeX x \a kAwbStatsSizeY.
+ * For example, a frame of 1280x720 is divided into 81x45 regions of [16x16]
+ * pixels because the BDS output size will be calculated as 1296x720. In the
+ * case of \a kAwbStatsSizeX=16 and \a kAwbStatsSizeY=12 the zones are made of
+ * [5x4] regions. The regions are left-aligned and calculated by
+ * IPAIPU3::calculateBdsGrid().
  *
- * \var IspStatsRegion::counted
- * \brief Number of pixels used to calculate the sums
+ * The Accumulator structure stores the sum of the pixel values in a zone of
+ * the image, as well as the number of relevant regions in this same zone. A
+ * relevant region is an unsaturated region here, depending on the awb
+ * thresholds.
+ * \todo extend the notion of relevant to something else ?
  *
- * \var IspStatsRegion::uncounted
- * \brief Remaining number of pixels in the region
+ * \var Accumulator::counted
+ * \brief Number of relevant regions used to calculate the sums
  *
- * \var IspStatsRegion::rSum
- * \brief Sum of the red values in the region
+ * \var Accumulator::rSum
+ * \brief Sum of the red values in the zone
  *
- * \var IspStatsRegion::gSum
- * \brief Sum of the green values in the region
+ * \var Accumulator::gSum
+ * \brief Sum of the green values in the zone
  *
- * \var IspStatsRegion::bSum
- * \brief Sum of the blue values in the region
+ * \var Accumulator::bSum
+ * \brief Sum of the blue values in the zone
