While objective and subjective quality assessment of 2D images and video have been an active research topic in the recent years, emerging 3D technologies require new quality metrics and methodologies taking into account the fundamental differences in the human visual perception and typical distortions of stereoscopic content. Therefore, this paper presents a comprehensive stereoscopic video database that contains a large variety of scenes captured using a stereoscopic camera setup consisting of two HD camcorders with different capture parameters. In addition to the video, the database also provides subjective quality scores obtained using a tailored single stimulus continuous quality scale (SSCQS) method. The resulting mean opinion scores can be used to evaluate the performance of visual quality metrics as well as for the comparison and for the design of new metrics.
