It wraps implementations of RMSE, PSNR, SSIM, FSIM, ISSM, SRE, SAM, and UIQ into a unified API, with both a Python function interface and a command-line tool. The package depends on numpy, scikit-image, opencv-python, and phasepack to handle image I/O and metric computation.\n\nThe package is mature and stable (marked Production/Stable), but is no longer actively maintained\u2014the last release was in May 2023 with no commits since. It works with Python 3.8 through 3.11 and installs with low friction as a pure wheel. Optional dependencies (pyfftw for faster FSIM, rasterio for TIFF reading) can be added at install time.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need multiple standard image similarity metrics in one package and can accept no future maintenance. The package is stable, permissively licensed, and has low install friction. However, do not rely on it for critical production systems or expect bug fixes\u2014consider it a snapshot tool. For active development or long-term support, evaluate maintained alternatives."},"id":"image-similarity-measures","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/image-similarity-measures","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/image-similarity-measures.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/image-similarity-measures/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-05-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"image-similarity-measures","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Evaluation metrics to assess the similarity between two images."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":173615,"position":10303,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.6"}
