from scipy.stats import entropy as scipy_entropy
def shannon_entropy(image, base=2):
"""Calculate the Shannon entropy of an image.
The Shannon entropy is defined as S = -sum(pk * log(pk)),
where pk are the number of pixels of value k.
Parameters
----------
image : (N, M) ndarray
Grayscale input image.
base : float, optional
The logarithmic base to use.
Returns
-------
entropy : float
Notes
-----
The returned value is measured in bits or shannon (Sh) for base=2, natural
unit (nat) for base=np.e and hartley (Hart) for base=10.
