+            Increasing this threshold requires brighter light sources (i.e. more white or less color, respectively) but prevents some «false alarms» where semi-bright parts, e.g. hands where colors can change quite a lot compared to the background, are incorrectly recognized as light source.]]></comment>

+            Increasing this threshold makes it harder for light sources to be accepted on bright backgrounds, but decreases the danger of noise counting as light source.]]></comment>
