Tony S Yu 23311a0993 Convert template matching Pull Request to skimage
This commit takes the template matching implementation from holtzhau/template (Pull Request #13) and converts the code to use the new package name (scikits.image --> skimage).

=================
Template Matching
=================
In this example, we use template matching to identify the occurrence of an
object in an image. The ``match_template`` function uses normalised correlation
techniques to find instances of the "target image" in the "test image".
The output of ``match_template`` is an image where we can easily identify peaks
by eye. Nevertheless, this example concludes with a simple peak extraction
algorithm to quantify the locations of matches.
