sk_sauvola — 2D segmentation op

Data kinds: imageregion

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "sk_sauvola", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

HALCON equivalent: var_threshold (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

sk_sauvola: 入力 → 出力

*The figure is the real output on a synthetic 128×128 input. Left: input, right: output (a non-image return value is shown as the value itself).*

Usage

Sauvola's local adaptive thresholding. Determines the threshold locally from the local mean and standard deviation around each pixel -- designed for binarizing (text extraction from) document images with uneven illumination.

HALCON の var_threshold(Threshold an image by local mean and standard deviation analysis.)に相当。実装は `v > filters.threshold_sauvola(v, window_size=2*int(a*6)+3)` —— a は局所窓のサイズを 3〜15(奇数)に振る(小さいほど照明ムラに強いが計算が細かくノイズにも敏感)。b は未使用。k, r パラメータは skimage の既定値のまま。
