“…total of 20 possible values of speckle noise was used. Performance of all the schemes have been qualitatively evaluated in terms of mean-square-error (MSE) [23], normalized mean-square-error (NMSE) [23], peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) [23], speckle index [25], average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) [25], effective number of looks (ENL) [23], correlation parameter (CP) [23], mean structure similarity index map (MSSIM) [24] and execution time in seconds. The correlation parameter is a measure of edge preservation in reconstructed speckle reduced image and MSSIM is a measure for comparing luminance, contrast and structure of two different images.…”
