Summary

This lecture focused on the topic of Image Fidelity, which will lead into Image Compression discussions.

Image Fidelity

Image Fidelity relates to ideal images and distorted images, which have been compressed and decompressed. The image fidelity can be calculated or predicted through multiple approaches that all have their good and bad points.  The following links provide information about Image Fidelity.
