Sum of absolute differences
Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD) is a widely used, extremely simple video quality metric used for block-matching in motion estimation for video compression. It works by taking the absolute value of the difference between each pixel in the original block and the corresponding pixel in the block being used for comparison. These differences are summed to create a simple metric of block similarity.
