A Haar wavelet-based perceptual similarity index for image quality assessment

作者:

Highlights:

• A computationally inexpensive perceptual image similarity measure is proposed.

• The HaarPSI yields state of the art correlations with human opinion scores (MOS).

• Basic assumptions about the HVS suffice to obtain a powerful similarity measure.

• The HaarPSI can be used to evaluate image and video processing methods.

• Replacing the Haar wavelet with other filters seems not to improve the performance.
