42  /**
43   * (<i>for internal use</i>) The The random seed initialization parameter as recorded in the FITS header.
44   * <p>
45   * The storing of the random seed provides consistent dither implementations. Dithering adds a small amount of noise (at
46   * the level of the quantization level increments) to remove possible systematics biases of the quantization. Since the
47   * quantization (integer representation of floating-point values) is inherently lossy (noisy) the added dithering noise
48   * is generally inconsequential in terms of preseving information in the original image. As such, the image can be
49   * recovered close enough to the original, within the level of the quantization noise, without knowing the exact random
50   * sequence that was used to generate the dither.
51   * </p>
52   * <p>
53   * However, The FITS standard requires that when dithering is used in the compression the same tool (or library) should
54   * also undo the dithering exactly using the same sequence of random numbers as was used when compressing the image.
55   * Furthermore, the standard makes some explicit suggestions on how pseudo-random sequences should be generated, and
56   * offers a specific convention for an algorithm that may be used to provide consistent dithering across tools,
57   * platforms, and library implementations.
58   * </p>
59   * <p>
60   * For the dithering to be reversible, the FITS header should store the integer value, usually between 1 and 10000
61   * inclusive, under the <code>ZDITHER0</code> keyword to indicate the value (random sequence index) that was used for
62   * seeding the random number generator according to the described standard.
63   * </p>
64   * <p>
65   * The nom-tam FITS library implements the suggested convention for the random number generator, and this parameter
66   * deals with recording the corresponding random seed value via the <code>ZDITHER0</code> keyword in the compressed
67   * image headers; as well as retrieving this value to seed the random number generator when decompressing the image, in
68   * a way that is consistent with the FITS standard and recommended convention.
