What is MSE and SSIM?
MSE will calculate the mean square error between each pixels for the two images we are comparing. Whereas SSIM will do the opposite and look for similarities within pixels; i.e. if the pixels in the two images line up and or have similar pixel density values.
Is SSIM a metric?
The Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) is a perceptual metric that quantifies image quality degradation* caused by processing such as data compression or by losses in data transmission. It is a full reference metric that requires two images from the same image capture— a reference image and a processed image.
How do you find structural similarity?
Structural similarity between two proteins is generally given as the root mean square deviation (RMSD) of their atomic positions after they have been structurally aligned. More on RMSD can be found on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-mean-square_deviation_of_atomic_positions.

When to use SSIM index for image quality?
For image quality assessment, it is useful to apply the SSIM index locally rather than globally. First, image statistical features are usually highly spatially nonstationary. Second, image distortions, which may or may not depend on the local image statistics, may also be space-variant.
Which is a feature of the SSIM metric?
The Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) metric extracts 3 key features from an image: 1 Luminance 2 Contrast 3 Structure
What are the local values of the SSIM index?
Local values of SSIM index, returned as a numeric array of nonnegative numbers of the same size as the input image, A . ssimmap is of data type double except when A is of data type single, in which case ssimmap is of data type single.
