Methodology for 3D Video Subjective Quality Evaluation

Abstract


The paper presents the methodology for 3D video subjective quality evaluation. Described methodology was designedto compare different 3D video compression technologies without an influence of any particular displaying or rendering technology. In addition detailed step by step description of test session design and preparation is provided. Experimental results for state-of-the-art 3D encoders are also included. All tests were conducted on two 3D monitors (polarization and autostereoscopic) thus influence of different displaying technologies on 3D video quality assessments has also been evaluated.
