// Demonstrates Adaptive Thresholding

// threshold_adaptive works following either the mean or the gaussian method, and accepts also a direction
// The direction indicates whether the pixels are assigned the max value when their values are greater
// than the threshold (regular), or when they are less than the threshold (inverse)
// threshold_adaptive is defined in include/boost/gil/image_processing/threshold.hpp
// See also:
// threshold.cpp - Simple thresholding
