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.

       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.
