Image dissimilarity

In this paper we compare the performance of a number of representative instrumental models for image dissimilarity with respect to their ability to predict both image dissimilarity and image quality, as perceived by human subjects. Two sets of experimental data, one for images degraded by noise and blur, and one for JPEG-coded images, are used in the comparison. ( 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
