When the histogram is calculated, we check if a cell is saturated or not
before cumulating its green value. This is wrong, and it can lead to an
empty histogram in case of a fully saturated frame.

Use a constant to limit the amount of pixels within a cell before
considering it saturated. If at the end of the loop we still have an
empty histogram, then make it a fully saturated one.
