3D OBJECTIVE QUALITY ASSESSMENT OF LIGHT FIELD VIDEO FRAMES

Abstract

With the rapid advances in light field displays and cameras, research in light field content creation, visualization, coding and quality assessment is now beyond a state of emergence; it has already emerged and started attracting a significant part of the scientific community. The capability of light field displays to offer glasses-free 3D experience simultaneously for multiple users has opened new avenues in subjective and objective quality assessment of light field image content, and video is also becoming research target of such quality evaluation methods. Yet it needs to be stated that while static light field contents have evidently received relatively more attention, the research on light field video content still remains largely unexplored. In this paper, we present results of the objective quality assessment of key frames extracted from light field video content. To this end, we use our own full-reference 3D objective quality metric.
