Sauvola local image thresholding
The implemented Sauvola method uses integral images for fast computation of the threshold function.
The Sauvola method is described in:
J. Sauvola and M. Pietikainen, Adaptive document image binarization, Pattern Recognition 33, 2000. - http://www.mediateam.oulu.fi/publications/pdf/24.pdf
The modification which uses integral images providing a 20-fold speedup (according to the paper) is described in this paper:
