Created May 4, 2015 14:54
#!/bin/bash
# Quick and dirty script for computing PSNR between images with identical base names in 2 directories.
#
# - script first loops over all files in dir1 (irrespective of extension)
# - it then assumes corresponding images in dir2 have same based name, but extension
# defined by ext2
#
# Results to CSV output. Output is rather messy because IM sends metrics to stderr (not stdout),
# so needs manual removal of warnings/junk.
# Requires ImageMagick
