Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodFinalize
Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetHashCode
Serves as the default hash function.

Extension Methods
  NameDescription
Public Extension MethodHasMethod
Checks whether an object implements a method with the given name.
(Defined by ExtensionMethods.)
Public Extension MethodIsEqual
Compares two objects for equality, performing an elementwise comparison if the elements are vectors or matrices.
(Defined by Matrix.)
Public Extension MethodTo(Type)Overloaded.
Converts an object into another type, irrespective of whether the conversion can be done at compile time or not. This can be used to convert generic types to numeric types during runtime.

Remarks

The image processing routine implements local thresholding technique described by Derek Bradley and Gerhard Roth in the "Adaptive Thresholding Using the Integral Image" paper.

The brief idea of the algorithm is that every image's pixel is set to black if its brightness is t percent lower (see PixelBrightnessDifferenceLimit) than the average brightness of surrounding pixels in the window of the specified size (see WindowSize), othwerwise it is set to white.

Sample usage:

// create the filter
BradleyLocalThresholding filter = new BradleyLocalThresholding( );
// apply the filter
filter.ApplyInPlace( image );
