# gen-msssim-goldens.py — a no-dependency cross-check of the MS-SSIM goldens.
#
# The AUTHORITATIVE goldens come from `scripts/gen-msssim-goldens.sh`, which runs
# the original reference `msssim.m` (Wang, Simoncelli & Bovik, "Multiscale
# Structural Similarity for Image Quality Assessment", 2003) under Octave. This
# script is an INDEPENDENT NumPy reimplementation of that same five-scale
# algorithm, written from the paper rather than from the Rust: a different
# language, a separate convolution, and the textbook E[x^2]-E[x]^2 variance form
# (the crate uses the deviation form). It exists so the goldens can be re-derived
# without Octave and so a third implementation has to agree — it reproduces the
# reference values exactly.
#
# It reads the committed grayscale PGM fixtures and prints the Rust `GOLDENS`
# table to paste into tests/ms_ssim_reference.rs. The fixtures are the single
# source of truth: this script and the Rust test read the identical .pgm files.
#
#   python3 scripts/gen-msssim-goldens.py
#
# Regenerate the fixtures first if they changed:
#   cargo test --features ms-ssim --test ms_ssim_reference \
#       write_ms_ssim_fixtures -- --ignored
