Description

The operator entropy_grayentropy_grayEntropyGrayEntropyGrayEntropyGray creates the histogram of relative frequencies of the gray values in the input image and calculates from these frequencies the entropy and the anisotropy coefficient for each region from RegionsRegionsRegionsRegionsregions according to the following formulae:

Entropy:

Anisotropiy coefficient:

        where
                rel[i]  histogram of relative gray value frequencies
                i       Gray value of input image (0..255)
        and     k       Smallest possible gray value with sum(rel[i]) >= 0.5

Attention

Note that the operator entropy_grayentropy_grayEntropyGrayEntropyGrayEntropyGray only considers the given RegionsRegionsRegionsRegionsregions and ignores any previously set domain of the input image ImageImageImageImageimage.

Execution Information

Parameters

RegionsRegionsRegionsRegionsregions (input_object)  region(-array) objectHRegionHRegionHobject

Regions where the features are to be determined.

ImageImageImageImageimage (input_object)  singlechannelimage objectHImageHImageHobject (byte)

Gray value image.

EntropyEntropyEntropyEntropyentropy (output_control)  real(-array) HTupleHTupleHtuple (real) (double) (double) (double)

Information content (entropy) of the gray values.

Assertion: 0 <= Entropy && Entropy <= 8

AnisotropyAnisotropyAnisotropyAnisotropyanisotropy (output_control)  real(-array) HTupleHTupleHtuple (real) (double) (double) (double)

Measure of the symmetry of gray value distribution.

Complexity

If F is the area of the region the runtime complexity is O(F + 255).

Result

The operator entropy_grayentropy_grayEntropyGrayEntropyGrayEntropyGray returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE) if an image with defined gray values is entered and the parameters are correct. The behavior in case of empty input (no input images available) is set via the operator set_system(::'no_object_result',<Result>:)set_system("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>)SetSystem("no_object_result",<Result>), the behavior in case of empty region is set via set_system(::'empty_region_result',<Result>:)set_system("empty_region_result",<Result>)SetSystem("empty_region_result",<Result>)SetSystem("empty_region_result",<Result>)SetSystem("empty_region_result",<Result>). If necessary an exception is raised.
