Entropy of an image

Entropy is a measure of image information content, which is interpreted as the average uncertainty of information source. In Image, Entropy is defined as corresponding states of intensity level which individual pixels can adapt.

How do you find the entropy of an image?

The entropy of an image can be calculated by calculating at each pixel position (i,j) the entropy of the pixel-values within a 2-dim region centered at (i,j). In the following example the entropy of a grey-scale image is calculated and plotted. The region size is configured to be (2N x 2N) = (10,10).

How do you find the entropy of a vector?

Calculate the entropy of a distribution for given probability values. If only probabilities pk are given, the entropy is calculated as S = -sum(pk * log(pk), axis=axis) . If qk is not None, then compute the Kullback-Leibler divergence S = sum(pk * log(pk / qk), axis=axis) .

What is meant by Shannon entropy?

Meaning of Entropy

At a conceptual level, Shannon's Entropy is simply the "amount of information" in a variable. More mundanely, that translates to the amount of storage (e.g. number of bits) required to store the variable, which can intuitively be understood to correspond to the amount of information in that variable.

What is entropy filter?

The entropy filter measures the relative change of entropy upon incorporating a sensor reading into the belief Bel(L). More specifically, let s denote the measurement of a sensor (in our case a single range measurement).
