Name

rms - root mean square difference between two images

Syntax

rms <inimage1> <inimage2> [<edge>]

Description

rms calculates the root mean square difference between corresponding pairs of bands and writes the result to stdout.

rms = SQRT{ SUM [ |inp1[y][x] - inp2[y][x]| **2 ] / N }

where SUM is over all N pixels in the band minus an edge of width edge which is not included in the calculaton. The purpose of this is to exclude differences due to different processing of the edge by local filters. Default edge value is 0.

All pixeltypes are allowed, but corresponding bands in inimage1 and inimage2 must be of the same pixeltype.
