Pgmtexture User Manual(1)

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

OPTIONS

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see
 Common Options index.html#commonoptions ), pgmtexture recognizes the following command line option:

-d distance
    The distance. Default is 1.

LIMITATIONS

The method for finding the Maximal Correlation Coefficient, which requires finding the second largest eigenvalue of a matrix Q, does not always converge.
