We develop a framework for assessing the quality of stereoscopic images that have been afflicted by possibly asymmetric distortions. An intermediate image is generated which when viewed stereoscopically is designed to have a perceived quality close to that of the cyclopean image. We hypothesize that performing stereoscopic QA on the intermediate image yields higher correlations with human subjective judgments. The experimental results confirm the hypothesis and show that the proposed framework significantly outperforms conventional 2D QA metrics when predicting the quality of stereoscopically viewed images that may have been asymmetrically distorted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
