New methods estimate image similarity from compression error

Researchers have developed new methods to estimate the Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) from Mean Square Error (MSE) for DCT-based compressed images. These approaches approximate local MSE by redistributing global MSE using variance or standard-deviation-based weighting, which significantly improves accuracy compared to using global MSE alone. Experiments on the Kodak and Xiph Subset1 datasets showed that these methods provide robust SSIM approximations across various JPEG quality levels and are designed to extend to video processing. AI
