色彩量化评价指标 Quantitative measure methods for color quantization

1. NRMSD (normalized root-mean-square deviation)

• The root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) or root-mean-square error (RMSE) : 

          Measure of the differences between values predicted by a model or an estimator and the values actually observed

• 
  
•  
  
•  Often expressed as a percentage, where lower values indicate less residual variance.

2. MSE (the mean square error )

3. PSNR(the peak signal to-noise ration) 

4.  image compression ratio, which means the size of the original color image without compression (e.g. 20MB) divided by the size of the quantized image  (e.g. 4MB).
