Detailed Documentation
This implementation calculates first-order entropy, second-order entropy, and differential entropy for images using MATLAB algorithms. The first-order entropy computation involves analyzing pixel intensity histograms to measure basic information content. Second-order entropy evaluates spatial relationships between adjacent pixels through joint probability distributions. Differential entropy, which operates on image gradients or differences, provides more detailed and accurate image information despite its slower execution speed due to more complex gradient calculations and probability density estimations. The MATLAB code utilizes built-in functions like histcounts for probability estimation and gradient for differential analysis, implementing entropy formulas through logarithmic calculations of probability distributions.
