Next:PsnrFrequency-domain SNR behaviourUp:

PSNR is defined as in (2) (2) where s = 255 for an 8-bit image. The PSNR is basically the SNR when all pixel values are equal to the maximum possible value. Human Visual Based Measurement Human Visual System (HVS) is another approach of measuring image quality 4, 5, 6, 7.

Introduction Previous:The importance of priors

Comparing restoration results requires a measureof image quality. Two commonly used measures are Mean-SquaredError and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio [30].The mean-squared error (MSE) between two images g(x,y) and is:

One problem with mean-squared error is that it depends strongly onthe image intensity scaling. A mean-squared error of 100.0 for an 8-bit image(with pixel values in the range 0-255) looks dreadful; but a MSE of 100.0for a 10-bit image (pixel values in [0,1023]) is barely noticeable.

Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) avoids this problem by scaling theMSE according to the image range:

where S is the maximum pixel value. PSNR is measured in decibels (dB).The PSNR measure is also not ideal, but is in common use.Its main failing is that the signal strength is estimated as , rather than the actual signal strength for the image.PSNR is a good measure for comparing restoration results for the same image,but between-image comparisons of PSNR are meaningless. One image with 20 dB PSNR may look much better than another imagewith 30 dB PSNR.

MSE and PSNR figures provided in this thesis were calculatedafter quantization (i.e. after converting floating-point pixel valuesto integer), but before clipping of the intensity range.
