The actual thresholding is not performed, see the routine "threshold".

S. M. Dunn & D. Harwood & L. S. Davis: "Local Estimation of the Uniform Error Threshold" IEEE Trans. on PAMI, Vol PAMI-6, No 6, Nov 1984.

Return value

The threshold value. Pixel values up to, and including, the return value, is below the threshold. Returns -1 if bad pixel type, accepts ony UNS_BYTE pixels.
