Abstract

The relationships of three objective performance measures for the evaluation of image reconstruction algorithms are presented. Two of them are physical metrics - distance and relative error. The third is a numerical observer performance measure. In a demonstration project, three reconstruction algorithms are evaluated on the basis of a specific task using the above measures. Based on a similarity measure between the rank orderings of 30 reconstructions by the performance measures, relative error is seen to have a significant similarity to numerical observer performance. The similarity between distance and numerical observer performance is considerably less. The following hypothesis appears to be worthy of further investigation: judicious use of simple physical metrics, in place of more elaborate and complicated measures, can in certain circumstances be an attractive alternative method for evaluating image reconstruction algorithms.
