Title
Definition of a Spatial Entropy and its Use for Texture Discrimination
Abstract
This paper presents a new definition of a spatial entropy mainly based on the Markov Random Field (MRF) prop- erties. Starting with the study of the entropy proposed in (1) for the Potts model, we establish a specific property of the entropy in this special case, and derive the analytical expres- sions for a 4-connexity neighborhood. Inspired by the previ- ous property, we propose a new definition mainly based on an heterogeneity measure of the neighborhood. This def- inition is then used to analyze a SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) image and it is shown to be able to discriminate dif- ferent types of textures.
