The following papers are to be cited in the bibliography whenever the software is used
as:

Entropic Differencing for Image and Video Quality", Signal Processing Letters, under review

differences for image quality assessment", IEEE Transactions on Image
Processing, vol. 21, no. 2, pp. 517-526, Feb. 2012

The attached code is a faster version of the original ST-RRED implementation: it calculates 
only one subband (corresponding to a unique combination of scale and orientation) and avoids
computing the whole multi-scale multi-orientation procedure.
