Guidelines for capturing high quality stereoscopic content based on a systematic subjective evaluation
Di Xu, Lino E. Coria, Panos Nasiopoulos · 2010
Although 3D TVs have already been introduced to the consumer market, the availability of stereoscopic (3D) content remains a serious challenge. Another challenge is that while some manufacturers are introducing 3D cameras and Hollywood is using proprietary solutions, there are no guidelines for consistently capturing high quality stereoscopic content. In this paper, we present a comprehensive stereoscopic image database with content captured at various distances from the camera lenses. We conducted subjective tests to assess the perceived 3D quality of these images which were shown on displays of different sizes. Finally, we provide guidelines of acquisition distances between the cameras and the real scene.
