       gmerlin_ssim will calculate the structural similarity between <image1> and <image2> and store the resulting image into <output_image>.

       The input images should be of the same dimension and format.

       The  SSIM  algorithm  is taken from the paper "Image Quality Assessment: From Error Visibility to Structural Similarity" by Z. Want et. al.
