entropy_gray — 2D features op

Data kinds: imagefeature

Call: fullseye.apply(img, "entropy_gray", a=0.5, b=0.5) (the 2-D model is one image plus two scalar knobs a,b∈[0,1])

HALCON equivalent: entropy_gray (the HALCON reference is a useful guide to its meaning and parameters)

Usage

The Shannon entropy of grayscale levels (computed from a 64-bin histogram and normalized by its maximum value, `log2(64)=6 bits). Represents the "spread/information content" of the gray-level distribution -- the value is larger for more uniform images and approaches 0 as the image is biased toward a single gray level. HALCON's entropy_gray` (Determine the entropy and anisotropy of images.) returns a pair of entropy and anisotropy, but this stand-in implements only the entropy.
