NAME

   pgmtexture - calculate textural features on a portable graymap

SYNOPSIS

   pgmtexture [-d d] [pgmfile]

DESCRIPTION

   Reads  a portable graymap as input.  Calculates textural features based
   on spatial dependence matrices at 0, 45, 90,  and  135  degrees  for  a
   distance d (default = 1).  Textural features include:

          (1) Angular Second Moment,
          (2) Contrast,
          (3) Correlation,
          (4) Variance,
          (5) Inverse Difference Moment,
          (6) Sum Average,
          (7) Sum Variance,
          (8) Sum Entropy,
          (9) Entropy,
          (10) Difference Variance,
          (11) Difference Entropy,
          (12, 13) Information Measures of Correlation, and
          (14) Maximal Correlation Coefficient.

   Cybertinetics, SMC-3(6):610-621.

BUGS

   The  program can run incredibly slow for large images (larger than 64 x
   64) and command line options are limited.  The method for finding  (14)
   the  maximal correlation coefficient, which requires finding the second
   largest eigenvalue of a matrix Q, does not always converge.
