Peak Signal-To-Noise Ratio As An Image Quality Metric

How to develop metrics in LabVIEW and how they can be used.

popularity

The term peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) is an expression for the ratio between the maximum possible value (power) of a signal and the power of distorting noise that affects the quality of its representation. Because many signals have a very wide dynamic range, (ratio between the largest and smallest possible values of a changeable quantity) the PSNR is usually expressed in terms of the logarithmic decibel scale.

Image enhancement or improving the visual quality of a digital image can be subjective. Saying that one method provides a better quality image could vary from person to person. For this reason, it is necessary to establish quantitative/empirical measures to compare the effects of image enhancement algorithms on image quality.

Using the same set of tests images, different image enhancement algorithms can be compared systematically to identify whether a particular algorithm produces better results. To read more, click here.
