# pyssim

This module implements the Structural Similarity Image Metric (SSIM).
Original code written by Antoine Vacavant from
http://isit.u-clermont1.fr/~anvacava/code.html, with modifications by
Christopher Godfrey and Jeff Terrace.

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/jterrace/pyssim.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/jterrace/pyssim)

## Installation

    pip install pyssim

## Running

    $ pyssim --help
    usage: pyssim [-h] image1.png image path with* or image2.png

    Compares an image with a list of images using the SSIM metric.
      Example:
        pyssim test-images/test1-1.png "test-images/*"

    positional arguments:
      image1.png
      image path with* or image2.png

    optional arguments:
      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
      --cw                  compute the complex wavelet SSIM
      --width WIDTH         scales the image before computing SSIM
      --height HEIGHT       scales the image before computing SSIM

## Compatibility

pyssim is known to work with Python 2.7, 3.4 and 3.5 and we test these versions
on Travis CI to make sure they keep working.

## Development

To run from a local git client:

    PYTHONPATH="." python ssim

To run the lint checks:

    pylint --rcfile=.pylintrc -r n ssim setup.py

To test:

    $ PYTHONPATH="." python ssim test-images/test1-1.png "test-images/*"
    test-images/test1-1.png - test-images/test1-1.png: 1
    test-images/test1-1.png - test-images/test1-2.png: 0.9980119
    test-images/test1-1.png - test-images/test2-1.png: 0.6726952
    test-images/test1-1.png - test-images/test2-2.png: 0.6485879
