contrast: Contrast Metric for a GLCM

Description

Calculate the contrast feature or metric for a gray-level co-occurrence matrix. For definition and application, see Lofstedt et al. (2019) tools:::Rd_expr_doi("10.1371/journal.pone.0212110").

Usage

contrast(x, ...)
# S3 method for default
contrast(x, ...)
# S3 method for matrix
contrast(x, ...)
# S3 method for FitLandDF
contrast(x, nlevels, ...)

Value

double

Arguments

x

gray-level co-occurrence matrix

...

additional parameters

nlevels

desired number of discrete gray levels

Examples

## calculate contrast of arbitrary GLCM
# define arbitrary GLCM
x <- matrix(1:16, nrow = 4)

# normalize
n_x <- normalize_glcm(x)

# calculate contrast
contrast(n_x)

# calculate contrast of fitness landscape, assuming 2 discrete gray levels
vals <- runif(64)
vals <- array(vals, dim = rep(4, 3))
my_landscape <- fitscape::FitLandDF(vals)

my_glcm <- get_comatrix(my_landscape, discrete = equal_discrete(2))
contrast(my_landscape, nlevels = 2)

## confirm value of contrast for fitness landscape
# extract normalized GLCM from fitness landscape

contrast(my_glcm)  # should match value of above contrast function call
