**4. An MCDM Application for the Selection of Lossy Compression Algorithms and Discussion**

In this section, we present the verification of the proposed methodology on the qualitative selection of lossy compression for the aerial images. The aerial images of different content and resolution were selected for the compression and the qualitative evaluation of their lossy compression. The set of qualitative parameters named criteria, encompass the general image quality assessment metrics, first-order color statistics, secondorder texture statistics, and subjective evaluation. The influence of the lossy compression

algorithms with different compression ratios to the aerial images' content was estimated using the set of criteria. The compression algorithms with appropriate compression ratios were ranked according to the qualitative degradation for corresponding compressed image using the neutrosophic WASPAS-SVNS method.
