Metrics

Full-Reference Evaluation

• PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) [Wiki] [Matlab Code] [Python Code]
• SSIM (Structural similarity) [Wiki] [Matlab Code] [Python Code]

Non-Reference Evaluation

• UCIQE (Underwater Colour Image Quality Evaluation) A metric uses a linear combination of chromaticity, saturation, and contrast to quantify the uneven color cast, blurriness, and low contrast characteristics of underwater engineering and surveillance images. [Paper: An Underwater Colour Image Quality Evaluation Metric]
• UIQM (Underwater Image Quality Measure) includes three underwater image quality assessments: Underwater Image Colorfulness Measure (UICM), Underwater Image Sharpness Measure (UISM), and Underwater Image Contrast Measure (UIConM).
