Percentile

Inferior and superior ranks, provided by the user, are passed to the kernel function to provide a softer version of the rank filters. E.g. autolevel_percentile will stretch image levels between percentile [p0, p1] instead of using [min, max]. It means that isolated bright or dark pixels will not produce halos.

The local histogram is computed using a sliding window.

Input image can be 8-bit or 16-bit, for 16-bit input images, the number of histogram bins is determined from the maximum value present in the image.

Result image is 8-/16-bit or double with respect to the input image and the rank filter operation.

autolevel_percentile(source, selem=None, sink=None, mask=None, percentiles=(0, 1), **kwargs)

Return greyscale local autolevel of an image.
