A preliminary study of a non-reference aliasing artefact index (AAI) metric is presented in this paper. We focus on the effects of combining a full-reference metric and interpolation algorithm. The nearest neighbor algorithm (NN) is used as the gold standard against which test-algorithms are judged in terms of aliased structures. The structural similarity index (SSIM) metric is used to evaluate a test image (i.e. a test-algorithm’s image) and a reference image (i.e. the NN’s image). Preliminary experiments demonstrated promising effects of the AAI metric against state-of-the-art non-reference metrics mentioned. A new study may further develop the studied metric for potential applications in image quality adaptation and/or monitoring in medical imaging.
