Image after sparse representation, to enhance the transmission efficiency of the image signal. Entropy of Primitive (EoP) is a statistical representation of the sparse representation of the image, which indicates the probability of each base element. Based on the EoP, this paper presents an image quality evaluation method-Difference of Visual Information Metric (DVIM). The principle of this method is to evaluate the image quality with the difference between the original image and the distorted image. The comparative experiments between DVIM & PSNR & SSIM are carried out. It was found that there was a great improvement in the image quality evaluation of geometric changes. This method is an effective image quality evaluation method, which overcomes the weakness of other quality evaluation methods for geometrically changing images to a certain extent, and is more consistent with the subjective observation of the human eye.
