Works for any data type (including floating point) and any number of
bands. But testing required, though, because I can't check any possible
cases. Also you should realize, that without information about number of
bands and header size it will give wrong results. For example, the width
of image will be reported as real_width*number_of_bands (in case of
pixel interlaced image). But if you even don't know exactly an image
geometry it still helps you to determine the one.

And, finally, the image should be a "good one" in sense of contents. For
example, if you have the white filled image with the one small black
letter in the corner --- it is not the case when the algorithm works :-)
