Quantitative analysis of reconstruction results: The pixel-wise reconstruction performance – expressed by the MSE – decreases with decreasing compression ratio as expected. Moreover, the reconstruction ability of the autoencoder (AE) always outperforms the single-pixel-decoder (SPD). The SSIM on the other hand only decreases slightly with decreasing compression ratio, which indicates that the overall structure of the reconstructed images, i.e. the general shapes of the objects, are unaltered even for the lower compression of 1.56%.
