The structural similarity image quality paradigm is based on the assumption that the human visual system is highly adapted for extracting structural information from the scene, and therefore a measure of structural similarity can provide a good approximation to perceived image quality. This paper proposes a multi-scale structural similarity method, which supplies more flexibility than previous single-scale methods in incorporating the variations of viewing conditions. We develop an image synthesis method to calibrate the parameters that define the relative importance of different scales. Experimental comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

均方误差（mean-square error, MSE）是反映估计量与被估计量之间差异程度的一种度量。设t是根据子样确定的总体参数θ的一个估计量，(θ-t)2的数学期望，称为估计量t的均方误差。它等于σ2+b2，其中σ2与b分别是t的方差与偏倚。 psnr是“Peak Signal to Noise Ratio”的缩写，即峰值信噪比，是一种评价图像的客观标准，它具有局限性，一般是用于最大值信号和背景噪音之间的一个工程项目。

全参考图像质量评价 The above (ssim_index.m) is a single scale version of the SSIM indexing measure, which is most effective if used at the appropriate scale. The precisely “right” scale depends on both the image resolution and the viewing distance and is usually difficult to be obtained. In practice, we suggest to use the following empirical formula to determine the scale for images viewed from a typical distance (say 3~5 times of the image height or width): 1) Let F = max(1, round(N/256)), where N is the number of pixels in image height (or width); 2) Average local F by F pixels and then downsample the image by a factor of F; and 3) apply the ssim_index.m program. For example, for an 512 by 512 image, F = max(1, round(512/256)) = 2, so the image should be averaged within a 2 by 2 window and downsampled by a factor of 2 before applying ssim_index.m. When the images are in RGB color, an Matlab function “rgb2gray” is used to convert the images to gray scale.
