Quality measure
Quality measures in image processing refer to quantitative
metrics used to evaluate the fidelity, accuracy, and perceptual
quality of processed images.
Some common quality measures:
 Mean Squared Error (MSE)

 Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR)

 Structural Similarity Index (SSIM)

 Mean Absolute Error (MAE)

 Root Mean Square Error (RMSE)

 Feature-based Metrics (e.g., edge sharpness, texture

preservation)

Mean squared error
Mean squared error (MSE) measures the average
squared difference between the original and
reconstructed images.
Equation for Mean Squared Error (MSE): The
formula for Mean Squared Error (MSE) is given by:
Root Mean Square Error
Root Mean Square Error (RMSE): Root Mean
Square Error (RMSE) is a variation of MSE that
represents the standard deviation of the differences
between pixel values in the original and reconstructed
images. Equation for Root Mean Square Error
(RMSE): The formula for Root Mean Square Error
(RMSE) is the square root of the MSE:
Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio
Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR):PSNR quantifies the
ratio between the maximum possible power of a signal and
the power of corrupting noise.
Formula:
PSNR = 10 * log10(MAX^2 / MSE)

where MAX is the maximum possible pixel value of the

image.

Structural Similarity Index
Structural Similarity Index (SSIM):SSIM
measures the similarity between two images based on
luminance, contrast, and structure.
SSIM values range from -1 to 1, where 1 indicates
perfect similarity.
Formula:
Mean Absolute Error
Mean Absolute Error (MAE):MAE calculates the
average absolute pixel-wise difference between the
original and reconstructed images.
Formula:
MAE = Σ|Original Image - Reconstructed Image| /
(Image Size)
Feature-based Metrics

Feature-based Metrics
 Edge Sharpness: Measures the clarity and

sharpness of edges in the image.

 Texture Preservation: Assesses how well the

algorithm preserves the texture details in the image.
