Toward Certification of 3D Video Quality of Experience through Inter - Laboratory Comparison

The fast development and increasing use of 3D video technology increases the need for standardization and certification processes when it comes to quality of video experience. Due to the specific conditions necessary for high-quality 3D video reproduction, an important role in evaluating the quality of 3D video plays the human experience factor. In order to find the best mechanisms for 3D video testing analysis of existing objective evaluation methods and proposal for certifiable subjective evaluations are required. This paper summarizes existing standards which are related to general inter-laboratory testing, examines the best practices for 3D video quality assessment from different laboratories, and based on gathered state-of-the art subjective measurements proposes a universal method which can be used as basis for certification procedure.
