SNR is the signal to noise ratio. PSNR is probably a bad name since it's not necessarily comparing the signal to the noise. It really compares one image to another. It's main use had been in comparing reconstructed images from an image that has undergone a roundtrip compression and decompression. It is a measure of how bad the compression artifacts are. There is a function psnr() in the Image Processing Toolbox.

MAXi is the maximum possible pixel value, 2^B-1 where B is the amount of bit used to quantize.
