Assessment of the compressed image quality is an important issue for image processing system. In this paper, we propose a novel objective assessment to measure the quality of gray scale compressed image, which is developed from the fundamental objective measurement. It is also correlated well with human response and least time taken comparable to some existing measurements. The proposed measurement, spatial frequency measurement (SFM) is adopted to enhance the image quality evaluation performance. From the experimental results, we found that mean average error (MAE) with SFM (MAESFM) is the suitable measurements that can be used to measure the quality of JPEG and JPEG2000 compressed images. In addition, MAESFM measurement is scaled to make them equivalent to MOS, given the rate of compressed image quality from 1 to 5 (unacceptable to excellent quality).
