Calculation Methods for One-Dimensional Image Entropy

In terms of calculating one-dimensional image entropy, we can follow these implementation steps. First, read the color image and convert it to grayscale using functions like rgb2gray() in MATLAB or cv2.cvtColor() in OpenCV. Then, based on the image information entropy formula H = -Σ(p_i * log2(p_i)), design an algorithm to compute the entropy by calculating the probability distribution of pixel intensities. Before entropy calculation, we can perform preprocessing steps such as adjusting image brightness and contrast using histogram equalization or gamma correction to improve calculation accuracy. Additionally, we can implement sliding window techniques with different window sizes and step lengths to obtain more comprehensive image information through local entropy analysis. Finally, compare the computed entropy values with other images using statistical methods to evaluate image complexity and information content. Through these steps with proper code implementation, we can gain deeper insights into image information characteristics and complexity.
