P-45: A Quality Measurement Based on Object Formation for 3D Contents

In this paper, we propose a quality metric for three-dimensional images or videos. The goal of this work is to provide a quality measurement from the relationship between the depth image quality and the three-dimensional perception. From our observation, we found that there is a relation between the perception of depth and the formation of object. The consistency for depth and object perceptions has a strong influence on the acceptable visual quality in three-dimensional images. Since the visual quality depends on the consistency, additional work is necessary for developing objective metrics based on this concept. In this paper, we propose a quality measurement metric for threedimensional images by checking the consistency between depth and object. The measured visual quality can be used as feedback for developing depth generation algorithms, which is important for 3D industry.
