Observation outlier detector

General description of the script
Once the cloudy observations have been filtered out, what is left is a mixture of valid observations and a set of undetected anomalous observations. These are mostly caused by:
- cloud shadows
- snow
- haze
The goal of the observation outlier detection algorithm is to identify anomalous observations. In this script the results of two masking algorithms is shown using two different colors:
- red: pixels detected as clouds by the cloud detector (s2cloudless).
- blue: pixels detected as outliers by the outlier detector, setting a detection threshold of 0.5.
