measure the lineal correlation between the original α ( ν , r ) applied during the F-pSQ process
and the recovered . Table 2 shows that there is a high similarity between the applied
VFW and the recovered one, since their correlation is 0.9849, for gray-scale images, and 0.9840,
for color images.

Figure 6 depicts the PSNR difference (dB) of each color image of the CMU database, that is,
the gain in dB of image quality after applying at d = 2000 cm to the images. On av-
erage, this gain is about 15 dB. Visual examples of these results are shown in Figure 7 , where
the right images are the original images, central images are perceptual quantized images after
applying α ( ν , r ), and left images are recovered images after applying
.
