Zhou Wang, Alan Bovik, Hamid Shiekh and Eero Simoncelli for Structural Similarity (SSIM) Video Quality Measurement Model. Structural Similarity (SSIM) is an algorithm for estimating the perceived quality of an image or video. Its computational simplicity and ability to accurately predict human assessment of visual quality has made it a standard tool in broadcast and post-production houses throughout the television industry.

SSIM uses powerful neuroscience-based models of the human visual system to achieve breakthrough quality prediction performance. Unlike previous complex error models that required special hardware, it can be easily applied in real time on common processor software. SSIM is now the most widely-used perceptual video quality measure, used to test and refine video quality throughout the global cable and satellite TV industry. It directly affects the viewing experiences of tens of millions of viewers daily.
