+# NAME: LOCALTHRESH
+#
+# PURPOSE: To threshold an image to binary (b/w) format using a moving
+# window adaptive thresholding approach.
+#
+# DESCRIPTION: LOCALTHRESH thresholds an image to binary (b/w) format
+# using a moving window adaptive thresholding approach. For each window
+# placement the center pixel is compared to some measure of either mean or
+# combination of mean and either standard deviation or mean absolute
+# deviation within the window. If the center pixel is larger than this
+# measure by some bias value, then the center pixel is made white;
+# otherwise it is made black. The moving window is a circle with Gaussian
+# profile. NOTE: the image MUST have the "objects" or foreground as white
+# and the "non-objects" or background as black. Thus the image must either
+# be preprocessed using the IM function -negate or have the script do that
+# using its negate parameter. IMPORTANT: For acceptable results, the
+# window size generally should be larger than the dimension of the
+# "objects" to be detected in the image by the thresholding. Consequently,
+# this method is best applied to images of text, small objects or edges.
+#
+# OPTIONS:
+#
+# -m method ... METHOD specifies what statistical measure to use to
+# compute the threshold for each window placement. Method 1 compares
+# the center pixel to the window mean, and if larger than the bias,
+# the center is made white; otherwise black. Method 2 compares the
+# center pixel to the window mean plus the bias times the window
+# standard deviation, and if the center pixels is larger, it is made
+# white; otherwise black. Method 3 compares the center pixel to the
+# window mean plus the bias times the square root of window mean
+# absolute deviation and if the center pixel is larger, it is made white;
+# otherwise black. The default is method=1. Note that method=1 is similar
+# to the IM function -lat (but uses a circular gaussian weighted window
+# rather than a square uniform weighted window and more importantly
+# does not suffer from the image shift resulting with the IM -lat
+# function).
+#
+# -r radius ... RADIUS specifies the radius for the gaussian profile
+# window. The value may be a float, but must be greater than or equal
+# to 3. The default=15. For acceptable results, the radius generally
+# must be larger than the feature dimension that is to be detected by
+# the thresholding.
+#
+# -b bias ... BIAS is the bias parameter used in each of the two
+# methods to determine the threshold. Larger bias values will have
+# the effect of removing more "noise" from the result, but too large
+# a value may remove parts of the foreground objects that are detected.
+# Values for bias are expressed as (percent) floats where bias>=0.
+# The default=20.
+#
+# -n negate ... NEGATE indicates whether to negate the image before
+# and after processing, since this technique only works when the "object"
+# or foreground is white and the "non-object" or background is black.
+# Values may be either yes or no. The default=yes.
