# PyTorch Image Quality Assessment

The `piqa` package is a collection of measures and metrics for image quality assessment in various image processing tasks such as denoising, super-resolution, image interpolation, etc. It relies only on [PyTorch](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch) and takes advantage of its efficiency and automatic differentiation.

PIQA is directly inspired from the [`piq`](https://github.com/photosynthesis-team/piq) project, but focuses on the conciseness, readability and understandability of its (sub-)modules, such that anyone can easily reuse and/or adapt them to its needs.

However, conciseness should never be at the expense of efficiency; PIQA's implementations are up to 3 times faster than those of other IQA PyTorch packages like [`kornia`](https://github.com/kornia/kornia), [`piq`](https://github.com/photosynthesis-team/piq) and [`IQA-pytorch`](https://github.com/dingkeyan93/IQA-optimization).

Alternatively, if you need the latest features, you can install it from the repository.

```bash

```

or copy the package directly to your project, with

```bash

cp -R piqa/piqa <path/to/project>/piqa
pip install git+https://github.com/francois-rozet/piqa
```

## Getting started

In `piqa`, each metric is associated to a class, child of `torch.nn.Module`, which has to be instantiated to evaluate the metric.
In `piqa`, each metric is associated to a class, child of `torch.nn.Module`, which has to be instantiated to evaluate the metric. All metrics are differentiable and support CPU and GPU (CUDA).

```python
import torch
import piqa

# PSNR
from piqa import PSNR

x = torch.rand(5, 3, 256, 256)
y = torch.rand(5, 3, 256, 256)

psnr = PSNR()
psnr = piqa.PSNR()
l = psnr(x, y)

# SSIM
from piqa import SSIM

x = torch.rand(5, 3, 256, 256, requires_grad=True).cuda()
y = torch.rand(5, 3, 256, 256).cuda()

ssim = SSIM().cuda()
ssim = piqa.SSIM().cuda()
l = 1 - ssim(x, y)
l.backward()
```

Like `torch.nn` built-in components, these classes are based on functional definitions of the metrics, which are less user-friendly, but more versatile.

```python
import torch

from piqa.ssim import ssim
from piqa.utils.functional import gaussian_kernel

x = torch.rand(5, 3, 256, 256)
y = torch.rand(5, 3, 256, 256)
kernel = gaussian_kernel(11, sigma=1.5).expand(3, 11, 11)

kernel = gaussian_kernel(11, sigma=1.5).repeat(3, 1, 1)

l = ssim(x, y, kernel=kernel, channel_avg=False)
l = 1 - ssim(x, y, kernel=kernel)
```

Most functional components of `piqa` support PyTorch's JIT, *i.e.* [TorchScript](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/jit.html), which is a way to create serializable and optimizable functions from PyTorch code.
### Tracing

By default, jitting is disabled for those components. To enable it, the `PIQA_JIT` environment variable has to be set to `1`. To do so temporarily,
All metrics of `piqa` support [PyTorch's tracing](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.jit.trace.html), which optimizes their execution, especially on GPU.

* UNIX-like `bash`

```bash
export PIQA_JIT=1
```

* Windows `cmd`

```cmd
set PIQA_JIT=1
```

* Microsoft `PowerShell`
```python
ssim = piqa.SSIM().cuda()
ssim_traced = torch.jit.trace(ssim, (x, y))

```powershell
$env:PIQA_JIT=1
l = 1 - ssim_traced(x, y) # should be faster ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
```

### Assert

PIQA uses type assertions to raise meaningful messages when an object-oriented component doesn't receive an input of the expected type. This feature eases a lot early prototyping and debugging, but it might hurt a little the performances.

If you need the absolute best performances, the assertions can be disabled with the Python flag [`-O`](https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-o). For example,

Alternatively, you can disable PIQA's type assertions within your code with

```python
from piqa.utils import set_debug
set_debug(False)
piqa.utils.set_debug(False)
```
