Should SSIM be high or low?
Complex Wavelet SSIM
is a small positive number used for the purposes of function stability. Ideally, it should be zero. Like the SSIM, the CW-SSIM has a maximum value of 1. The maximum value of 1 indicates that the two signals are perfectly structurally similar while a value of 0 indicates no structural similarity.
What is a good SSIM?
An SSIM score of 1.00 indicates perfect structural similarity, as is expected out of identical images.
Why is SSIM better than MSE?
MSE will calculate the mean square error between each pixels for the two images we are comparing. Whereas SSIM will do the opposite and look for similarities within pixels; i.e. if the pixels in the two images line up and or have similar pixel density values.
What is SSIM Python?
The Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) is a perceptual metric that quantifies image quality degradation* caused by processing such as data compression or by losses in data transmission. It is a full reference metric that requires two images from the same image capture— a reference image and a processed image.
