SS-SSIM and MS-SSIM for digital cinema applications

چکیده
One of the key issues for a successful roll out of digital cinema is in the quality it offers. The most practical and least expensive way of measuring quality of multimedia content is through the use of objective metrics. In addition to the widely used objective quality metric peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), recently other metrics such as single scale structural similarity (SS-SSIM) and multi scale structural similarity (MS-SSIM) have been claimed as good alternatives for estimation of perceived quality by human subjects. The goal of this paper is to verify by means of subjective tests the validity of such claims for digital cinema content and environment.

Three-Component Weighted Structural Similarity Index
The assessment of image quality is very important for numerous image processing applications, where the goal of image quality assessment (IQA) algorithms is to automatically assess the quality of images in a manner that is consistent with human visual judgment. Two prominent examples, the Structural Similarity Image Metric (SSIM) and Multi-scale Structural Similarity (MS-SSIM) operate under the...

The assessment of image quality is important in numerous image processing applications. Two prominent examples, the Structural Similarity Image (SSIM) index and Multi-scale Structural Similarity (MS-SSIM) operate under the assumption that human visual perception is highly adapted for extracting structural information from a scene. Results in large human studies have shown that these quality ind...

Full-reference image quality assessment methods seek to measure visual similarity between two images (in practice, one original and the other its altered version). It has been established that traditional methods, such as Mean Square Error and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio poorly mimic the human visual system and much of the recent research in image quality assessment has been directed toward deve...

Digital images are subject to a wide variety of distortions during image processing application, and it is necessary to develop objective image quality metric to evaluate the degradation automatically. Images are prepared for human eyes so that the assessment result must be consistent with human visual effect. Structure Similarity (SSIM), a well-known objective image quality assessment, is prop...
متن کاملSsim Based Range Image Quality Assessment
Although image quality assessment (IQA) has observed much research and advancement in the past, not much progress has been made towards the development of quality assessment metrics for range images. The current metrics being used to assess the quality of range images are reminiscent to the old IQA metrics such as mean squared error that have since been replaced with metrics which better correl...
