Influence of the distortion type on the image quality assessment when reducing its sizes by D. G. Asatryan, M. E. Harutyunyan, Y. I. Golub, V. V. Starovoitov

“…It is shown that the average values of correlations for all images at three types of distortions are very high, while for the other two they are unacceptably low. An attempt has been made to explain this situation by the properties of distorting algorithms that change the structural properties of the image to varying degrees.The possibility of comparing images of the same scene, but with different resolutions, is demonstrated.…”
