You may use +double hyphens instead of single hyphen to denote options. You may use +white space in place of the equals sign to separate an option name +from its value. + + +.UN description +.SH DESCRIPTION +.PP +This program is part of +.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c +\&. +.PP +\fBpnmpsnr\fP reads two PBM, PGM, or PPM files, or PAM equivalents, as +input and computes the magnitude of difference between the two images as a peak +signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) This metric is typically used in image +compression papers to rate the distortion between original and decoded image. +.PP +\fBpnmpsnr\fP either prints these values or compares them to thresholds +you specify. + +.PP +The PSNR of a given component is the ratio of the maximum mean square +difference of component values that could exist between the two images (a +measure of the information content in an image) to the actual mean square +difference for the two subject images. It is expressed as a decibel value. +.PP +The mean square difference of a component for two images is the +mean square difference of the component value, comparing each pixel +with the pixel in the same position of the other image. For the +purposes of this computation, components are normalized to the scale +[0..1]. +.PP +The maximum mean square difference is identically 1. +.PP +So the higher the PSNR, the closer the images are. A luminance +PSNR of 20 means the mean square difference of the luminances of the +pixels is 100 times less than the maximum possible difference, +i.e. 0.01. +.PP +Note that the word "peak" is a misnomer; there is no maximum involved; the +metric is a mean. But "peak signal to noise ratio" is for some reason the +common term for this measurement. +.PP +If the inputs are PBM or PGM, \fBpnmpsnr\fP computes the PSNR of the +luminance only. Otherwise, it computes three separate PSNRs: either the +luminance, and chrominance (Cb and Cr) components of the colors or the +red, green, and blue components. +.PP +By default, the program prints the PSNRs to Standard Output in +human-friendly form. +.PP +With the \fB-machine\fP option, the program prints the PSNRs, but +in machine-friendly form. +.PP +With a \fB-target\fP[\fIx\fP] option, the program just prints +\&'match' or 'nomatch', depending on whether the PSNRs +exceed targets you specify. + +.PP +\fBpnmpsnr\fP reports the PSNR either in human-friendly form or in +machine-friendly form (see \fB-machine\fP). + + +.UN options +.SH OPTIONS +.PP +In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm +(most notably \fB-quiet\fP, see +.UR index.html#commonoptions + Common Options +.UE +\&), \fBpnmpsnr\fP recognizes the following +command line options: + + +.TP +\fB-rgb\fP +This option causes \fBpnmpsnr\fP to compare the red, green, and blue +components of the color rather than the luminance and chrominance components. +It has no effect on a monotone image. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbm 10.71 (June 2015). + +.TP +\fB-machine\fP +This option causes \fBpnmpsnr\fP to report the PSNRs in machine-friendly +form, so another program can easily use the information. +.sp +The output is a single line. It contains one floating point decimal number +for each color component, with a single space between every two. (This means +there are either 1 or 3 numbers). For the YCbCr color space (no \fB-rgb\fP), +they are in the order Y, Cb, Cr. For the RGB color space (\fB-rgb\fP), they +are in R, G, B order. For a monotone image, there is one number. +.sp +Where the component does not differ between the images, so the PSNR is +infinite, the number is \fBinf\fP +.sp +But note that the number displayed is also modified by the effect of +\fB-max\fP. In particular, with \fB-max\fP, you will never see \fBinf\fP. +.sp +This option has no effect when you also specify \fB-target\fP[\fIn\fP]. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbm 10.74 (March 2016). + +.TP +\fB-max=\fP\fIn\fP +This is meaningful only with \fB-machine\fP. +.sp +It specifies the maximum number \fBpnmpsnr\fP will print as a PSNR. +If the PSNR is greater than \fIn\fP, \fBpnmpsnr\fP just prints \fIn\fP. +\fIn\fP is a decimal floating point number. An infinite PSNR is considered +greater than any number. +.sp +This is mainly useful to deal with infinite PSNRs. It is often much more +convenient to have a program process only numbers than to make it deal with +infinity, and often a very large number has the same effect on a program as +infinity. +.sp +Note that the output is logarithmic, which means you will not see really +large but finite numbers. If you specify \fB-max=1000\fP, the only way you +will see 1000 in the output is if the PSNR is really infinite. Two images +with as many pixels as there are electrons in the universe, differing in only +one pixel, and only in the smallest amount representable in the Netpbm format, +have a PSNR less than 1000. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbm 10.74 (March 2016). + +.TP +\fB-target\fP=\fIn\fP + +This option causes \fBpnmpsnr\fP to run in comparison mode - rather than +print the PSNRs, it just tells you whether the PSNRs exceed +\fIn\fP (a floating point number), i.e. whether the compared images are the +same within a given margin of error. If all the computed PSNRs (luminance for +a PBM or PGM; luminance and chrominance or red, green, and blue for PPM) +exceed \fIn\fP, the program prints 'match' to Standard Output. +Otherwise, it prints 'nomatch'. +.sp +If you also specify any of \fB-target1\fP, \fB-target2\fP, or +\fB-target3\fP, and the images are color, \fBpnmpsnr\fP ignores +\fB-target\fP. +.sp +This is mainly useful for use in a program. If you're +running \fBpnmpsnr\fP manually, you could just run \fBpnmpsnr\fP +without \fB-target\fP and compare the PSNRs to your targets yourself. +.sp +This option was new in Netpbm 10.82 (March 2018). + +.TP +\fB-target\fP{\fB1\fP,\fB2\fP,\fB3\fP}=\fIn\fP +Like \fB-target\fP, these options cause \fBpnmpsnr\fP to run in comparison +mode. But they provide separate targets for the individual color component +PSNRs. \fB-target1\fP, \fBtarget-2\fP, and \fB-target3\fP are for either +the Y, Cb, and Cr components, respectively, or the red, green, and blue +components, respectively, depending upon whether you specified \fB-rgb\fP. +.sp +If you don't specify the corresponding \fB-target\fP\fIn\fP option for a +component, \fBpnmpsnr\fP ignores the PSNR of that component in deciding +whether the images match. +.sp +If the image is a PBM or PGM, these options have no effect, except that it +stilll selects comparison mode, so if you don't \fIalso\fP +specify \fB-target\fP, and the image is PBM or PGM, the program fails. +.sp +Note that the options are defined so that you could code a +\fBpnmpsnr\fP command in a program that works on both color and monotone +images, specifying individual PSNR targets for use on the color images and the +single target for use on the monotone images. +.sp +These options were new in Netpbm 10.82 (March 2018). + + + + +.UN seealso +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "pnm" (1)\c +\& +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
