A pure Python/PyTorch toolbox for image quality assessment (IQA) providing GPU-accelerated reimplementations of many full-reference and no-reference metrics such as PSNR, SSIM, LPIPS, FID, NIQE, MUSIQ, TOPIQ, and NIMA. Results are calibrated against official MATLAB implementations, and it is installable via pip as `pyiqa`.

Use cases

• compute image quality metrics like psnr ssim lpips in python
• score images with no-reference quality models like musiq or nima
• evaluate generated images with fid
• benchmark image restoration models against quality metrics
• replace slow matlab iqa implementations with fast gpu pytorch versions
• assess aesthetic quality of photos
• measure perceptual image quality for dataset curation

When to choose

• you need many IQA metrics behind one consistent Python API
• you want GPU-accelerated metric computation in a PyTorch pipeline
• you need pretrained no-reference models like MUSIQ, TOPIQ, or NIMA without reimplementing them
• you want results calibrated against official MATLAB reference implementations

When to avoid

• you need a single trivial metric and want zero deep-learning dependencies
• you require strict license compliance and cannot accept a non-standard license
• you work outside Python/PyTorch ecosystems, e.g. pure MATLAB or TensorFlow
