iqa 1.2.1

A single, ergonomic API over the patchwork of visual quality assessment metrics in the Rust ecosystem.
Documentation
//! Numerical cross-validation of `iqa::ssimulacra2` against the upstream
//! SSIMULACRA2 reference tool.
//!
//! Our FFI shim calls the vendored cloudinary `ComputeSSIMULACRA2`, so the metric
//! is canonical *by construction* — but the Rust wrapper adds steps a
//! property/relative test can't catch if they silently corrupt the number: sRGB
//! color tagging, `/255` normalization, interleaved→planar packing, and the SIMD
//! row-padding fill. This file pins the absolute values against the `ssimulacra2`
//! reference tool built from the **exact cloudinary source we vendor**
//! (`third_party/ssimulacra2/src`), on identical pixels.
//!
//! The version matters: SSIMULACRA2 changed numerically from 2.0 to **2.1** (April
//! 2023 — rescaled XYB and retuned weights), so a libjxl release old enough to
//! build self-contained (≤ v0.8.2, used for the butteraugli oracle) ships 2.0 and
//! scores these fixtures very differently (e.g. gradient_lo: 19.3 under 2.0 vs
//! 53.8 under our 2.1). The vendored submodule is the only oracle guaranteed to be
//! the same algorithm version our shim binds; its `ssimulacra2_main.cc` still
//! loads images through its own libjxl path (independent of our shim's
//! `MakeBundle`), so this remains a real cross-check.
//!
//! `ssimulacra2 original.png distorted.png` prints one line: the score (`-inf..100`,
//! 100 = identical). It loads images via libjxl's built-in PNM decoder, so binary
//! PPM (P6) — uncompressed 8-bit RGB, read as nonlinear sRGB on both sides — lets
//! us feed both the metric and the reference the *same committed `.ppm` files*,
//! isolating exactly what our wrapper adds. (PPM, not PNG, because the reference
//! tool's PNG codec needs system libpng; its PNM reader is built in.)
//!
//! The committed [`GOLDENS`] were produced by `scripts/gen-ssimulacra2-goldens.sh`
//! (which builds the tool and prints this table). The fixtures are written by the
//! `#[ignore]`d [`write_ssimulacra2_fixtures`] below; if you regenerate them you
//! must regenerate the goldens too.
