pgmtexture - Man Page
calculate textural features on a PGM image
Examples (TL;DR)
- Extract textural features from a PGM image:
pgmtexture path/to/image.pgm > path/to/output.pgm
- Specify the distance parameter for the feature extraction algorithm:
pgmtexture -d distance path/to/image.pgm > path/to/output.pgm
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

Options
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see Common Options ), pgmtexture recognizes the following command line option:
- -d distance
The distance. Default is 1.
Limitations
The method for finding the Maximal Correlation Coefficient, which requires finding the second largest eigenvalue of a matrix Q, does not always converge.
