Pytorch MS-SSIM

Fast and differentiable MS-SSIM and SSIM for pytorch 1.0+

Structural Similarity (SSIM):

Multi-Scale Structural Similarity (MS-SSIM):

Updates

2020.04.30

Now (v0.2), ssim & ms-ssim are calculated in the same way as tensorflow and skimage, except that zero padding rather than symmetric padding is used during downsampling (there is no symmetric padding in pytorch). The comparison results between pytorch-msssim, tensorflow and skimage can be found in the Tests section.

Installation

pip install pytorch-msssim

Usage

Calculations will be on the same device as input images.

1. Basic Usage

from pytorch_msssim import ssim, ms_ssim, SSIM, MS_SSIM
# X: (N,3,H,W) a batch of non-negative RGB images (0~255)
# Y: (N,3,H,W)  

# calculate ssim & ms-ssim for each image
ssim_val = ssim( X, Y, data_range=255, size_average=False) # return (N,)
ms_ssim_val = ms_ssim( X, Y, data_range=255, size_average=False ) #(N,)

# set 'size_average=True' to get a scalar value as loss. see tests/tests_loss.py for more details
ssim_loss = 1 - ssim( X, Y, data_range=255, size_average=True) # return a scalar
ms_ssim_loss = 1 - ms_ssim( X, Y, data_range=255, size_average=True )

# reuse the gaussian kernel with SSIM & MS_SSIM. 
ssim_module = SSIM(data_range=255, size_average=True, channel=3)
ms_ssim_module = MS_SSIM(data_range=255, size_average=True, channel=3)

ssim_loss = 1 - ssim_module(X, Y)
ms_ssim_loss = 1 - ms_ssim_module(X, Y)

2. Normalized input

If you need to calculate MS-SSIM/SSIM on normalized images, please denormalize them to the range of [0, 1] or [0, 255] first.

# X: (N,3,H,W) a batch of normalized images (-1 ~ 1)
# Y: (N,3,H,W)  
X = (X + 1) / 2  # [-1, 1] => [0, 1]
Y = (Y + 1) / 2  
ms_ssim_val = ms_ssim( X, Y, data_range=1, size_average=False ) #(N,)

3. Enable nonnegative_ssim

For ssim, it is recommended to set nonnegative_ssim=True to avoid negative results. However, this option is set to False by default to keep it consistent with tensorflow and skimage.

For ms-ssim, there is no nonnegative_ssim option and the ssim reponses is forced to be non-negative to avoid NaN results.
