Description: Improve optical character recognition by binarizing
        images. The package focuses primarily on local adaptive
        thresholding algorithms. In English, this means that it has the
        ability to turn a color or gray scale image into a black and
        white image. This is particularly useful as a preprocessing
        step for optical character recognition or handwritten text
        recognition.
