About our benchmarks
The development of benchmarks is important for many reasons:
- They motivate developers to create cool new methods in this scientific field
- There are few high-quality and constantly updated benchmarks in some scientific fields. Our mission is to fix it
- PSNR and SSIM are not suitable for video comparison anymore. Our goal is to prove it to everyone
- Benchmark creation is a first step in developing new metrics, better than PSNR and SSIM (and even VMAF!). It is much easier to develop a metric, if you have the benchmark
