Calculate Textures from Grey-Level Co-Occurrence Matrices (GLCMs)
Enables calculation of image textures derived from grey-level co-occurrence matrices (GLCMs). Supports processing images that cannot fit in memory.
Overview
The glcm package enables calculating image textures derived from grey-level
co-occurrence matrics (GLCMs) in R. The texture calculation is coded in C++
to optimize computation time. The glcm function in the package can compute
the following texture statistics: mean (using either of two definitions),
variance (using either of two definitions), homogeneity, contrast,
dissimilarity, entropy, second_moment, and, correlation. The window size,
shift, and grey-level quantization are user determined. See the help file for
glcm (included in the package) for details.
Package Installation
To install the latest stable version of glcm from
CRAN, fire up R and run:
install.packages('glcm')Installing glcm Development Version
If you want the very latest version of glcm, you can install the development
version. Be aware this version might not install as it is not as well tested as
the stable version.
NOTE: If you are installing on Windows, you will need to install the
appropriate version of Rtools
for your version of R (as glcm contains C++ code) before you follow the
below steps.
The easiest way to install the development version of the glcm package is
using the
devtools package by Hadley
Wickham. After installing devtools from CRAN, type:
library(devtools)install_github('azvoleff/glcm')Author Contact Information

-
Docs for "glcm" stated that the default direction was 90 degrees. This is incorrect - the default is 45 degrees. Fixed docs accordingly.
-
Fix error that arose when handling large images due to usage of "stack" from wrong namespace in "glcm" function. Thanks to Wenjuan Shen, Dennis O. Ojwang', and others for reporting.
