PYSSIM(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

pyssim — the tool that computes the Structural Similarity Image Metric, aka SSIM 💖

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay bestie, so picture this: pyssim compares an image against a list of images using the SSIM metric. that's it, that's the whole main character moment. 🫶

here's the usage, straight up, no edits:

usage: pyssim [-h] [--cw] [--width WIDTH] [--height HEIGHT]

       image1.png image path with* or image2.png

and here's the example from the docs, because seeing it is believing it:

pyssim test-images/test1-1.png "test-images/*"

like yes, you pass one image, and then a globby little path with a * in it, and it goes off and does the comparison thing. it's giving efficiency. 💅

🎀 positional arguments 🎀

• image1.png image path with* or image2.png — this is your input slot, bestie. it's either an image (image1.png) or an image path with a * in it, or image2.png. literally the thing you're feeding in. 🍓

💅 optional arguments 💅

• -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips. classic. ✨
• --cw — computes the complex wavelet SSIM. fancy mode, no cap. 🔥
• --width WIDTH — scales the image before computing SSIM. takes a WIDTH value. 🌈
• --height HEIGHT — scales the image before computing SSIM. takes a HEIGHT value. 🦋

ngl the --width and --height descriptions are identical in the original docs — both just say they scale the image before computing SSIM. that's not me being lazy, that's just what it says. 💀

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

The full documentation for pyssim is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and pyssim programs are properly installed at your site, the command

info pyssim

should give you access to the complete manual. so like, if you want the full lore, that's where it lives. 👑
