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.
