calcENT: ENT Entropy

Description

calculates ENTROPY measure for Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrices

Usage

calcENT(rawmat)

Arguments

rawmat

assigns the GLC-Matrix

Value

• returns Entropy value

Details

Entropy is a texture measure related to the orderline group. Entropy characterizes 'energy' values for pixel combinations.
