feat(pdftract-6dki1): implement histogram stretch contrast normalization
Implement Phase 5.3.2a: histogram-based contrast normalization for OCR preprocessing. The algorithm stretches the input gray value range (from 1st to 99th percentile) to the full [0, 255] output range, improving downstream binarization effectiveness. Key implementation details: - 256-bin histogram computation for percentile calculation - 1st/99th percentile robustness against hot pixels and artifacts - In-place mutation for performance (no double allocation) - Proper error handling for uniform images and invalid dimensions - Overflow-safe arithmetic using i32 intermediate values Acceptance criteria: - Image with [50, 200] range → stretched to [0, 255] - Hot pixel robustness: single 0/255 pixels handled correctly - Uniform image → early return with UniformImage error - Invalid dimensions (zero width/height) → InvalidDimensions error - Full performance: < 50 ms for 8 MP images Closes: pdftract-6dki1

//! Contrast normalization via histogram stretch (Phase 5.3.2a).
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! This module implements histogram-based contrast normalization for OCR
|
||||
//! preprocessing. It stretches the input image's gray value range to the
|
||||
//! full [0, 255] output range, improving the effectiveness of downstream
|
||||
//! binarization (Sauvola/Otsu).
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! # Algorithm
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! 1. Compute a 256-bin histogram of the input grayscale image
|
||||
//! 2. Find the 1st percentile (p01) and 99th percentile (p99) values
|
||||
//! 3. Linearly map [p01, p99] to [0, 255]: `new = ((old - p01) * 255) / (p99 - p01)`
|
||||
//! 4. Clamp results to [0, 255]
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! The percentile-based approach provides robustness against outliers:
|
||||
//! - A few hot pixels (e.g., scanner artifacts) don't dominate the stretch
|
||||
//! - A black border or noise specks don't prevent proper normalization
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! # JBIG2 Skip Rule
|
||||
//!
|
||||
//! JBIG2-encoded images are already binary (1-bit per pixel). Applying
|
||||
//! histogram stretch to them is unnecessary and would incorrectly introduce
|
||||
//! 8-bit grayscale values. Such images are identified at the image-source
|
||||
//! dispatch layer and skip contrast normalization entirely.
