Radius

  Standard deviation of gaussian neighborhood average for computing local contrast. If 0 is used a global threshold is used instead of one based on local contrast.

Antialiasing

  This sets a rough target of levels of accuracy for anti-aliasing, or set to 1 to disable anti-aliasing.

Threshold level

  Thresholding level consists of two values. Change the lower threshold towards 0 to minimize shadows or towards 1.0 to minimize highlights. The high threshold decides the maximum values to include, above this it gets set to 0.
