![Entropy
Measure of randomness
Calculate entropy for regions of the blob
● Overall Entropy
● Stdev Entropy
● Left Mean Entropy - Right Mean Entropy
h_prob = [ h / histo_sum for h in histogram ]
entropy = -sum( [p * math.log(p)
for p in h_prob
if p != 0] )](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/pythonthesquirrelhordes1-120312073052-phpapp01/85/PyCon-2012-Militarizing-Your-Backyard-Computer-Vision-and-the-Squirrel-Hordes-18-320.jpg)
