How to correctly calculate PSNR of yuv420p video? Learn more about psnr, yuv420p, video, mse Image Processing Toolbox. It will be a scalar (a single number). Mse = sum(sum(squaredErrorImage)) / (rows. columns);% Calculate PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) from the MSE according to the formula.
Description
Psnr Image
The PSNR block computes the peak signal-to-noise ratio, in decibels, between two images. This ratio is used as a quality measurement between the original and a compressed image. The higher the PSNR, the better the quality of the compressed, or reconstructed image.
The mean-square error (MSE) and the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) are used to compare image compression quality. The MSE represents the cumulative squared error between the compressed and the original image, whereas PSNR represents a measure of the peak error. The lower the value of MSE, the lower the error.
To compute the PSNR, the block first calculates the mean-squared error using the following equation:
In the previous equation, M and N are the number of rows and columns in the input images. Then the block computes the PSNR using the following equation:
In the previous equation, R is the maximum fluctuation in the input image data type. For example, if the input image has a double-precision floating-point data type, then R is 1. If it has an 8-bit unsigned integer data type, R is 255, etc.
Computing PSNR for Color Images
Different approaches exist for computing the PSNR of a color image. Because the human eye is most sensitive to luma information, you can compute the PSNR for color images by converting the image to a color space that separates the intensity (luma) channel, such as YCbCr. The Y (luma), in YCbCr represents a weighted average of R, G, and B. G is given the most weight, again because the human eye perceives it most easily. Compute the PSNR only on the luma channel.
Input
Input image, specified as scalar, vector, or matrix.
Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point
Matlab For Mac Os X
Input image, specified as scalar, vector, or matrix.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | int64 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | uint64 | Boolean | fixed point
Output
Peak signal-to-noise ratio between images, returned as a scalar.
Dependencies
