Description
|
|
•
|
The Entropy command computes the entropy of each layer of an image.
|
•
|
The img parameter specifies the image for which the entropy of the layers is computed.
|
•
|
The optional N parameter specifies the number of buckets per layer. The default is 256, which is usually suitable for images read from 8-bit per pixel per layer image files.
|
•
|
For a single layer (grayscale) image, the Entropy command returns a single value. For 3 or 4 layer images, a list is returned; the i-th element in the list is the entropy of the i-th layer.
|
|
|
Options
|
|
|
If true, set the range to the minimum and maximum values that occur in the image (on all layers). Overrides the range option. The default is false.
|
•
|
range = numeric .. numeric
|
|
Assigns the range of values that the buckets cover. The default is 0.0 .. 1.0, which corresponds to the the range of values in an unprocessed image.
