/**
 * This Binarizer implementation uses the old ZXing global histogram approach. It is suitable
 * for low-end mobile devices which don't have enough CPU or memory to use a local thresholding
 * algorithm. However, because it picks a global black point, it cannot handle difficult shadows
 * and gradients.
 *
 * Faster mobile devices and all desktop applications should probably use HybridBinarizer instead.
