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. # # REFERENCES: see the following: # http://www.dfki.uni-kl.de/~shafait/papers/Shafait-efficient-binarization-SPIE08.pdf # http://www.busim.ee.boun.edu.tr/~sankur/SankurFolder/Threshold_survey.pdf # # CAVEAT: No guarantee that this script will work on all platforms, # nor that trapping of inconsistent parameters is complete and # foolproof.
