%dist Return distance between image points in homog. coor. in specified metric.
%
%  d = dist(M1, M2, metric)
%
%  Parameters:
%    metric .. x- and y-coordinates are associated with a single image point
%              1 .. square root of sum of squares of x- and y-coordinates
%              2 .. std of x- and y-coordinates
%                   <=> equivalent to noise type 2 in noise_add
