MS-SSIM Results

The following graphs are updated with results for DLI v1.3 default and -ov modes.  For easier
interpretation of the results, the data is presented logarithm scaled.  The data has also been
graphed on a linear scale and available in this zip archive.  All the images in testset1.zip and
the Java implementation of MS-SSIM by Gabriel Prieto Renieblas at
 
"DLI -ov" produces the best results for all 16 images, with highest results for 62 of the 64 test cases.
Kakadu and ADCTC have highest results for 1 test case each.  Also noteworthy is JPEG does
significantly better relative to other codecs when using MS-SSIM as a measure rather than PSNR.
WMP on the other hand does significantly worse with MS-SSIM.  Even though it averages 30%
higher compression than JPEG when using PSNR, it produces the worst MS-SSIM results in
58 of the 64 test cases.
