چکیده

Recently, much research has been performed to guarantee viewer’s safety in watching stereoscopic 3D videos. Most of them focused on individual content factors causing viewer discomfort. This paper extends the kinds of content factors, and focuses more on the composite, rather than individual, factors. To analyze them, a subjective test for discomfort is performed for four stereoscopic 3D videos. Also, all the quantitative values of the factors to be considered are extracted from the contents. The quantitative factors we consider are the amount of disparity, the frequency and amount of the disparity changes, object movement, and the color and luminance information. In addition, we also include some situational factors, such as story of the contents, situation or circumstances of a scene, and movement, position, and direction of camera. We analyze qualitatively, by comparing the subject test results and the extracted quantitative factors, as well as the situational factors, to find when and how much those factors, in combination or individually, cause viewer discomfort. We summarize, and substantially show which factors, or their combinations, strongly or weakly affect viewer discomfort. 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Visual Discomfort Estimation for Stereoscopic 3D Contents

Stereoscopic 3D displays are widely applied for home entertainments. However, some viewers complain uncomfortable 3D perception when they watch 3D contents. For generating comfort stereoscopic 3D contents, we proposed three qualitative models for measuring the discomfort. Three experiments for 1) limitation of the viewing angle 2) variance of the viewing angle for the whole scene 3) variance of...

Automatic 3DTV Quality Assessment Based On Depth Perception Analysis

Quality assessment is a key factor for stereoscopic 3D video content as some observers are affected by visual discomfort in the eye when viewing 3D video, especially when combining positive and negative parallax with fast motion. In this paper, we propose techniques to assess objective quality related to motion and depth maps, which facilitate depth perception analysis. Subjective tests were ca...

Eye-movement Analysis for Measuring Visual Discomfort Caused from Watching Stereoscopic 3D Video

From previous researches, eye movements are related with visual discomfort caused from watching stereoscopic 3D video. In this paper, we present an analysis of eye movements to measure visual discomfort in terms of motion-in-depth and viewing time. First, we extract pupil from near-infrared eye image. Then, we detect two types of eye movements (saccadic number and blinking rate) from motion inf...

New stereoscopic video shooting rule based on stereoscopic distortion parameters and comfortable viewing zone

Human binocular depth perception, the most important element brought by 3DTV, is proved to be closely connected to not only the content acquisition (camera focal length, camera baseline and etc.) but also the viewing environment (viewing distance, screen size and etc.). Conventional 3D stereography rule in the literature usually consider the general viewing condition and basic human factors to ...

An Assessment of Visual Discomfort Caused by Motion-in-Depth in Stereoscopic 3D Video

The motion-in-depth is an important factor in measuring visual discomfort when watching stereoscopic 3D video since it changes accommodation and vergence at the same time. In this paper, we examine visual discomfort caused by motion-in-depth in terms of viewing time and display size in watching stereoscopic 3D video. The assessment methods for visual discomfort we used were a subjective test su...
