  1. This table compares the MSSIM of each image tested in previous table 3 to evaluate the structural preserving ability of BAE. The result shows that the MSSIM before BAE algorithm is consistently lower than the MSSIM after performing BAE algorithm. This indicates that the BAE algorithm has contributed in preserving detail of the image. The MSSIM is improved averagely 10.49% after performing the BAE algorithm on the adaptive segmented hand radiograph.
