Representative Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix Texture Features

Co-occurrence matrix features Qualitative description
Contrast Intensity contrast between pixel and its neighbor ij|ij|2f(i,j)
Correlation Linear gray-level dependence ij((iμi)*(jμj)*f(i,j))σiσj
Homogeneity Closeness of distribution in co-occurrence matrix to matrix diagonal ijf(i,j)1+|ij|
Energy Certainty of gray-level co-occurrence ijf(i,j)2
Entropy Uncertainty of gray-level co-occurrence ijf(i,j)*log(f(i,j))
Inverse difference moment (IDM) Local homogeneity in gray-level co-occurrence ijf(i,j)(1+(ij)2)
Cluster shade Asymmetry in gray-level values ij(iμi+jμj)3*f(i,j)
