Apply filter to an image in unmanaged memory.
(Inherited from BaseFilter.)
Public methodApply(UnmanagedImage, UnmanagedImage)
Apply filter to an image in unmanaged memory.
(Inherited from BaseFilter.)
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.
(Inherited from Object.)

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 Niblack filter is a local thresholding algorithm that separates white and black pixels given the local mean and standard deviation for the current window.

This filter implementation has been contributed by Diego Catalano.

Examples
Copy
Bitmap image = ... // Lena's picture

// Create a new Niblack threshold:
var niblack = new NiblackThreshold();

// Compute the filter
Bitmap result = niblack.Apply(image);

// Show on the screen
ImageBox.Show(result);

The resulting image is shown below:
