The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Deep Features as a Perceptual Metric (2018, methodology): “Despite its common use, SSIM was not designed for situations where geometric distortion is a large factor [48].”
Stochastic Adversarial Video Prediction (2018, background): “In video prediction, structural ambiguities and geometric deformations are a dominant factor, and SSIM is not an appropriate metric in such situations [22,21].”
