MATLAB: Can I find NPCR value for two images of different dimensions using matlab code

npcr value computation

I would like to find NPCR value of chaotic map using matlab code. Whether it is possible to find the npcr value if the input images are different dimensions?
I used this code..
 function results = NPCR_and_UACI( img_a, img_b, need_display, largest_allowed_val )
    %%1. input_check 
    [ height_a, width_a, depth_a ] = size( img_a );
    [ height_b, width_b, depth_b ] = size( img_b );
    if ( ( height_a ~= height_b ) ...
      || (  width_a ~=  width_b ) ...
      || (  depth_a ~=  depth_b ) )
        error( 'input images have to be of same dimensions' );
    end
    class_a = class( img_a );
    class_b = class( img_b );
    if ( ~strcmp( class_a, class_b) )
        error( 'input images have to be of same data type'); 
    end
    %%2. measure preparations
    if ( ~exist( 'largest_allowed_val', 'var') )
        switch  class_a 
            case 'uint16'
                largest_allowed_val = 65535;
            case 'uint8'
                largest_allowed_val = 255;
            case 'logical'
                largest_allowed_val = 2;
            otherwise
                largest_allowed_val = max ( max( img_a(:), img_b(:) ) );
        end
    end
    if ( ~exist( 'need_display', 'var' ) ) 
        need_display = 1;
    end
    img_a = double( img_a );
    img_b = double( img_b );
    num_of_pix = numel( img_a );
    %%3. NCPR score and p_value
    results.npcr_score = sum( double( img_a(:) ~= img_b(:) ) ) / num_of_pix;
    npcr_mu  = ( largest_allowed_val ) / ( largest_allowed_val+ 1 );
    npcr_var =  ( ( largest_allowed_val) / ( largest_allowed_val+ 1 )^2 ) / num_of_pix;
    results.npcr_pVal = normcdf( results.npcr_score, npcr_mu, sqrt( npcr_var ) );
    results.npcr_dist = [ npcr_mu, npcr_var ];
    %%4. UACI score and p_value 
    results.uaci_score = sum( abs( img_a(:) - img_b(:) ) ) / num_of_pix / largest_allowed_val; 
    uaci_mu  = ( largest_allowed_val+2 ) / ( largest_allowed_val*3+3 );
    uaci_var = ( ( largest_allowed_val+2 ) * ( largest_allowed_val^2 + 2*largest_allowed_val+ 3 ) /18 / ( largest_allowed_val+ 1 )^2 / largest_allowed_val) / num_of_pix;
    p_vals = normcdf( results.uaci_score, uaci_mu, sqrt( uaci_var ) );
    p_vals( p_vals > 0.5 ) = 1 - p_vals( p_vals > 0.5 );
    results.uaci_pVal = 2 * p_vals;
    results.uaci_dist = [ uaci_mu, uaci_var ];
    %%5. optional output
    if ( need_display ) 
       format long;
       display( results ); 
    end
    end
but this code ensures to give input images of same dimensions.
Any other alternate way is there to compute Net pixel change rate using matlab?

NO.

Well, I suppose you could find the NPCR of the overlapping portion of the images.
