Example

Runs the AutoBinarizeCommand on an image and converts it to a black and white image.

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Core; 
 
public void AutoBinarizeCommandExample() 
{ 
   // Load an image 
   RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
   codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = true; 
 
   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "noisy_barcode.jpg")); 
 
   AutoBinarizeCommand command = new AutoBinarizeCommand(); 
   command.Flags = AutoBinarizeCommandFlags.UsePercentileThreshold | AutoBinarizeCommandFlags.DontUsePreProcessing; 
   command.Factor = 2000; // use 20% threshold 
   command.Run(image); 
}
