A simple relationship between SSIM and PSNR for DCT-based compressed images and video: SSIM as content-aware PSNR

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show how the structural similarity metric SSIM for image quality assessment can be seen in many cases, such as DCT-based compressed images and video, as a content-aware version of the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). In fact, under some assumptions described in the paper, the first can be derived directly from the latter based on a single content-dependent parameter, i.e. the variance of the image / video frame, not requiring joint access to original and compressed image/frames. Results show the validity of the assumptions and high accuracy for the derivation / estimation, in particular at quality levels of interest in real use cases.
