Hi Joe,
Thank you for your answer is fully clear for me now.
In my side, I am currently working on a new SSTV algorithm (using the recent
image compression progress) in order to improve what exists. 
But it will be long because I do not have much free time to work on this.

My 73,
David

SNR calculations are done in somewhat different ways for each of the WSJT-X
modes, but all are intended to be a close approximation to your #2.  Briefly
stated, we fit a "baseline" to the spectral regions in the Rx passband that
do not contain signals.  The spectral density of noise close to a signal's
frequency is evaluated from this baseline.  This value is scaled up to 2500
Hz bandwidth, and becomes the denominator in the S/N calculation.

For interest: at present, calculation of SNR in the new FT8 mode comes close
to the above ideal only for signals *in the clear*.  SNRs for signals with
nearby interference are effectively evaluated as

   Signal/(noise + interference)

We'll do a better job in an upcoming release.
