Binarization is often done to clean up an image (e.g. in preparation for OCR), or to create an image effect.

This method automatically binarizes the image.

This version of automatic binarize is different than the AutoBinarize method. It uses a different and faster algorithm to binarize the image automatically. However it does not set any of the properties the AutoBinarize method sets for additional calls to the Binarize method.
