By developing metrics on both Y and F(Y,M) useful tools for handling textures are obtained. But it is noted that the metrics are highly dependent on what that are choosen. On the other hand, this makes the metrics a more flexible tool, adaptable to the specific application.
One explanation for the extremely good performance of is that the underlying metric, , used for was highly suitable for the kind of textures that the final tests were calculated on.
With the granulation we are able to adjust what is to be considered as similar and dissimilar by the metric.
