Average Dithering

Average Dithering is a method of dithering images into monochrome (black and white).

Average Dithering is based on a very simple method: any threshold value is chosen, and any pixels which are darker than the threshold become black, and any pixels which are lighter than the threshold become white.

With a carefully chosen threshold, Average Dithering tends to produce adequate results on most images, but does tend to lose detail as well as introduce visible contour artifacts.
