The SSIM Index for Image Quality Assessment Presented by: Wan Shu Cheng
Abstract • The Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) index is a novel method for measuring the similarity between two images. • The SSIM index can be viewed as a quality measure of one of the images being compared, provided the other image is regarded as of perfect quality.

Structural Similarity (SSIM) • Similarity measure • Luminance comparison • Contrast comparison • Structure comparison
(a) Original (b) Salt-Pepper Noise • MSE=225 • SSIM=0.6494 (c)Additive Gaussian Noise • MSE=225 • SSIM=0.3891 (d)Multi-Speckle Noise • MSE=225 • SSIM=0.4408
(a) Original (b) Contrast Stretching • MSE=225 • SSIM=0.9372 (c) Blurring • MSE=225 • SSIM=0.3461 (d) JPEG Compression • MSE=215 • SSIM=0.2876
