ssim returns the value of SSIM between two vectors representing the
color intensities of two images.
SSIM(x, y, numBreaks = 256)value of SSIM defined between 0 and 1.
numeric array. Image 1 color intensity array.
numeric array. Image 2 color intensity array.
numeric. Number of bins for the color histogram.

SSIM is an image quality measure, given a reference considered as noise-less image. It can be also used as a perceived similarity measure between images. The images are converted by default in 8bit.
