CompareImages

Estimator between 2 images.

Description

Compute MSE (Mean Squared Error), MAE (Mean Absolute Error) and PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) between two image bands (reference and measurement). The user has to set the used channel and can specify a ROI.

Parameters

Reference image properties

Reference image -ref.in image Mandatory
Image used as reference in the comparison.

Reference image channel -ref.channel int Default value: 1
Used channel for the reference image.

Measured image properties

Measured image -meas.in image Mandatory
Image used as measured in the comparison.

Measured image channel -meas.channel int Default value: 1
Used channel for the measured image.

Region Of Interest (relative to reference image)

Start X -roi.startx int Default value: 0
ROI start x position.

Start Y -roi.starty int Default value: 0
ROI start y position.

Size X -roi.sizex int Default value: 0
Size along x in pixels.

Size Y -roi.sizey int Default value: 0
Size along y in pixels.


MSE -mse float Mandatory
Mean Squared Error value.

MAE -mae float Mandatory
Mean Absolute Error value.

PSNR -psnr float Mandatory
Peak Signal to Noise Ratio value.

count -count float Mandatory
Nb of pixels which are different.

Available RAM (MB) -ram int Default value: 256
Available memory for processing (in MB).

Examples

From the command-line:

otbcli_CompareImages -ref.in GomaApres.png -ref.channel 1 -meas.in GomaAvant.png -meas.channel 2 -roi.startx 20 -roi.starty 30 -roi.sizex 150 -roi.sizey 200

From Python:

import otbApplication

app = otbApplication.Registry.CreateApplication("CompareImages")

app.SetParameterString("ref.in", "GomaApres.png")
app.SetParameterInt("ref.channel", 1)
app.SetParameterString("meas.in", "GomaAvant.png")
app.SetParameterInt("meas.channel", 2)
app.SetParameterInt("roi.startx", 20)
app.SetParameterInt("roi.starty", 30)
app.SetParameterInt("roi.sizex", 150)
app.SetParameterInt("roi.sizey", 200)

app.ExecuteAndWriteOutput()
