pgmtexture - calculate textural features on a portable graymapSYNOPSIS
pgmtexture [-d d] [pgmfile]DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable graymap as input. Calculates textural features based on spatial dependence matrices at 0, 45, 90, and 135 degrees for a distance d (default = 1). Tex tural features include: (1) Angular Second Moment, (2) Contrast, (3) Correlation, (4) Variance, (5) Inverse Difference Moment, (6) Sum Average, (7) Sum Variance, (8) Sum Entropy, (9) Entropy, (10) Difference Variance, (11) Difference Entropy, (12, 13) Information Measures of Correlation, and (14) Maximal Correlation Coefficient. Algorithm taken from: Haralick, R.M., K. Shanmugam, and I. Dinstein. 1973. Tex tural features for image classification. IEEE Transac tions on Systems, Man, and Cybertinetics, SMC-3(6):610-621. BUGS The program can run incredibly slow for large images (larger than 64 x 64) and command line options are lim ited. The method for finding (14) the maximal correlation coefficient, which requires finding the second largest eigenvalue of a matrix Q, does not always converge.
