Quantifying image quality in computer graphics

Validating results is a crucial problem in computer graphics. It is difficult to prove with all scientific rigour that an image produced by a new algorithm is statistically significantly better than other state-of-the-art results. This project is indented to provide means of comparing computer graphics results in a possibly effective and accurate way.
