600 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING, VOL. 13, NO. 4, APRIL 2004 Image Quality Assessment: From Error Visibility to Structural Similarity Zhou Wang, Member, IEEE, Alan Conrad Bovik, Fellow, IEEE, Hamid Rahim Sheikh, Student Member, IEEE, and Eero P. Simoncelli, Senior Member, IEEE Abstract— Objective methods for assessing perceptual image work digital video server can examine the quality of video being quality traditionally attempted to quantify the visibility of errors transmitted in order to control and allocate streaming resources. (differences) between a distorted image and a reference image Second, it can be used to optimize algorithms and parameter using a variety of known properties of the human visual system. Under the assumption that human visual perception is highly settings of image processing systems. For instance, in a visual adapted for extracting structural information from a scene, we communication system, a quality metric can assist in the op- introduce an alternative complementary framework for quality timal design of prefiltering and bit assignment algorithms at the assessment based on the degradation of structural information. encoder and of optimal reconstruction, error concealment, and As a specific example of this concept, we develop a Structural postfiltering algorithms at the decoder. Third, it can be used to Similarity Index and demonstrate its promise through a set of intuitive examples, as well as comparison to both subjective benchmark image processing systems and algorithms. ratings and state-of-the-art objective methods on a database of
