var_threshold — 2D segmentation op

Data kinds: imageregion

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "var_threshold", 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)

Usage

Sauvola's local adaptive binarization (`skimage.filters.threshold_sauvola, window size 2*int(a*6)+3). Since the threshold is determined using both the local mean and local standard deviation, it is more robust to uneven illumination and low-contrast documents than dyn_threshold. An approximation corresponding to HALCON's var_threshold` (Threshold an image by local mean and standard deviation analysis) -- the formulation follows a similar idea, but Sauvola's formula and HALCON's formula have different coefficients, so the numerical results are not identical.
