Using Outlier Suppression
Using Outlier Suppression
Outlier Suppression is the percentage of the noise suppressed when calculating the contrast value.
The following histograms provide visual examples of different levels of suppression:
High Suppression (5%) / Contrast: 20
Medium Suppression (2%) / Contrast: 83
Low Suppression (1%) / Contrast: 180
No Suppression (0%) / Contrast: 226
