We extend a recently introduced universal grayscale image quality index to a newly developed perceptually decorrelated colour space. The resulting colour image fidelity metric quantifies the distortion of a processed colour image relative to its original version. We evaluated the new colour image fidelity metric through observer experiments in which subjects ranked images according to perceived distortion. The metric correlates strongly with human perception and can therefore be used to assess the performance of colour image coding and compression schemes, colour image enhancement algorithms, synthetic colour image generators, and colour image fusion schemes.
