Formulation

Remark

Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR)

\(\:PSNR=20\bullet\:{{log}}_{10}\left(\frac{255}{RMSE}\right)\)

Evaluate the disparity between the segmented image and the original image.

Structural Similarity Index (SSIM)

\(\:SSIM=\frac{\left(2{\mu\:}_{I}{\mu\:}_{Seg}+{c}_{1}\right)\left(2{\sigma\:}_{I,Seg}+{c}_{2}\right)}{\left({{\mu\:}_{I}}^{2}+{{\mu\:}_{Seg}}^{2}+{c}_{1}\right)\left({{\sigma\:}_{I}}^{2}+{{\sigma\:}_{Seg}}^{2}+{c}_{2}\right)}\)

Measure the resemblance between the segmented image and an uncompressed or minimally distorted image.

Feature Similarity Index (FSIM)

\(\:FSIM=\frac{{\sum\:}_{I\in\:\varOmega\:}{S}_{L}\left(X\right){PC}_{m}\left(X\right)}{{\sum\:}_{I\in\:\varOmega\:}{PC}_{m}\left(X\right)}\)

Quantify the quality score that indicates the importance of a local structure.
