WB_THRESHOLD - thresholds an image on a given grey

NAME

WB_threshold

SYNOPSIS

WB_threshold -l[level] | -t[level] input-file [ output-file ]

DESCRIPTION

WB_threshold performs either a global thresholding of an image or a local thresholding. Global thresholding means that al pixels with a grey value less than the threshold value will be changed into black pixels and all others into white. Local thresholding turns black those pixels who have a value which is less than the local average around that pixel. The input-file should be a .pgm image file. If an output-file is specified this file will be used to store the resulting image. Otherwise the result is written to the input-file.

OPTIONS

-l[local threshold level]
Perform a local thresholding. The local threshold level will be added to the local average. The default local threshold level is 10.

-t[global threshold level]
Perform a global thresholding. All pixels with values greater than the global threshold level will be changed into white pixels all others will become black. The default value of the global threshold level is 128.
