Abstract

Objective quality measures or measures of comparison are of great importance in the field of image processing. Such measures are needed for the evaluation and the comparison of different algorithms that are designed to solve a similar problem, and consequently they serve as a basis on which one algorithm is preferred above the other. Similarity measures, originally introduced to compare two fuzzy sets, can be applied in different ways to images. In [2] we gave an overview of similarity measures which can be applied straightforward to images. In this paper, we will show how some similarity measures can be applied to normalized histograms of images.
