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.

Facility wrappers around the image processing functionality of
'dlib'. 'Dlib' <http://dlib.net> is a 'C++' toolkit containing machine learning
algorithms and computer vision tools. Currently the package allows to find feature
descriptors of digital images, in particular 'SURF' and 'HOG' descriptors.
