Dynamic thresholds are a popular and effective means of binarisation,
used in image processing. We show that the method is a special case
of a general setting in which input data from a background window are
fitted with a polynomial surface after which the data from a smaller,
embedded focus window are thresholded with respect to the fitted surface.
The method has been implemented and used with good results in the context of fingerprint recognition.
