An Effective Alternative Structural Similarity Index Algorithm (original) (raw)

Abstract

Real-time image quality assessment algorithms is an important, outcome research is dedicated to improving this practice. Towards this end, a design of real-time implementable full-reference image or video quality algorithms that are based on the Structural Similarity (SSIM) index and multi-scale SSIM (MS-SSIM) index preferred. The proposed algorithms merged into one single updating process. LIVE image quality database used to evaluate their improvement in form of computational complexity. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is an effective alternative for real-time image Structural Similarity with low area cost (time).
