PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio) PSNR stands for Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio . It measures how close a processed image or video is to the original, indicating the level of distortion introduced by compression or processing. What it means Signal : the original (reference) image or video Noise : distortion or errors from compression, transmission, or processing PSNR compares the peak signal value to the distortion PSNR is expressed in decibels (dB) . Why it matters Higher PSNR → less distortion → better visual quality Lower PSNR → more visible artifacts and degradation PSNR is widely used in: Image compression (JPEG, PNG, WebP) Video compression (H.264, H.265, AV1) Image and video quality eva...
