Study on distortion conspicuity in stereoscopically viewed 3D images

Abstract

We describe a study aimed towards increasing our understanding of the perception of distorted stereoscopic 3D images, by analyzing subjects' performance in locating local distortions in stereoscopically viewed images. Nineteen subjects were recruited for this study. The results indicated that contrast and range variations are correlated with the conspicuity of some distortions, but not others.
