NAME

pgmtexture - calculate textural features on a PGM image

SYNOPSIS

pgmtexture

[-d d]

[pgmfile]

DESCRIPTION

This program is part of Netpbm(1).

pgmtexture reads a PGM image as input and calculates textural features based on spatial dependence matrices at 0, 45, 90, and 135 degrees for a distance d (default = 1).

Textural features include:

  • Angular Second Moment
  • Contrast
  • Correlation
  • Variance
  • Inverse Difference Moment
  • Sum Average
  • Sum Variance
  • Sum Entropy
  • Entropy
  • Difference Variance
  • Difference Entropy
  • Information Measures of Correlation
  • Maximal Correlation Coefficient

Algorithm taken from: Haralick, R.M., K. Shanmugam, and I. Dinstein. 1973. Textural features for image classification. IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybertinetics, SMC-3(6):610-621.

LIMITATIONS

The program can run incredibly slow for large images (larger than 64 x 64) and command line options are limited. The method for finding the Maximal Correlation Coefficient, which requires finding the second largest eigenvalue of a matrix Q, does not always converge.
