“…Next, the participant watched the 3-, 5-and 10-minute stereoscopic 3D video clips as shown in Table 2. As the subject was wearing polarized glasses equipped with an eye tracking device, we detected her eye blinking using eye state diagram as in [16] and measured her eyestrain response at one minute intervals with a hand held slider similar to [2]. The position of the slider could be adjusted along a graphical scale and including at regular intervals the adjective terms, [ [15].…”

“…The complaints of some viewers about visual discomfort such as eyestrain and associated symptoms including nausea and headaches present a barrier in the popularization of stereoscopic 3D technology. Some visual discomfort may occur due to excessive demand on the accommodation-vergence linkage, fast local and global motion, and various stereoscopic distortions [1,2,3,4,5,6].…”

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 such as a questionnaire, and an objective test such as eye blink rate detection. The experimental results showed that visual discomfort increased in proportion with the speed of motion-in-depth and viewing time. We also found that the viewer's discomfort increased when watching stereoscopic 3D video on the smaller-sized display than on a larger-sized display.

“…In the field of stereoscopic 3D image and video making, according to the commonly used display technology with polarizer or active shutter, researchers are more concerned about the disparity related factors, such as disparity magnitude, disparity type, disparity distribution and disparity gradient [1,2,3]. Among them, the disparity magnitude, which is considered to be the most importance factor to cause accommodation-convergence conflict and stereo perception, will directly affect the visual experience.…”

Abstract. This paper has investigated the effect of hue on visual comfort and depth perception through subjective assessment experiments with the stereoscopic images generated by computer. The evaluation results indicated that the variable of hue would significantly affect the viewing experience under different combinations of disparity magnitude and disparity type. Of all the colors, cool colors got higher scores in both evaluation of visual comfort and depth perception. In addition, cyan was most comfortable for observers. Green had the strongest sense of space for depth perception, and yellow got the lowest rating score of the two indicators. Our study could provide important experimental data for improving the stereoscopic image and video technology, which has certain value and practical significance.

“…Such defective image pairs can cause a weakened depth sense in the observer, and it can even result in headache or nausea when exposed for a long time. The effects of such defective image pairs on human visual system [3,[6][7][8] and some quality assessment methods based on disparities [9] have been investigated in recent years.…”

Efficient estimation of disparity statistics and their use as a predictor for perceived 3D video scene quality

Excessive depth perception in 3D video is one of the major factors that causes discomfort to the viewer and that can decrease the viewer's quality perception of 3D video. With the idea of real-time quality control of 3D videos, we proposed an edge-based sparse disparity estimation algorithm with a novel similarity metric. The comparative assessment with other four state-of-the-art similarity metrics, implemented within the proposed edge-based disparity estimator, showed higher performance for the novel metric. User tests are conducted to assess the relation between certain disparity statistics and user perception of 3D scene quality that is a retrospective subjective experience of quality. Subjective tests indicate that the viewer discomfort can be predicted best by using maximum and slew rate of 95 percentile scene disparities together.
