I have no idea what those implementations are good for, but I can
compile the C++ program from http://mehdi.rabah.free.fr/SSIM/
successfully.

A small patch for new gccs:
-#include <iostream.h>
+#include <iostream>
+using namespace std;

and then:
make SSIM CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/opencv" CXX=g++ CXXFLAGS="-Wall -O2" \
  LDFLAGS="-lcv -lhighgui"
(requires opencv).

Not sure whether this gives you a filter or not. Good luck reading the
source. :)

HTH,
Moritz
