In stereoscopic displays different images are presented separately to the left and right eyes. This requirement may increase the bandwidth demand as well as increase the occurrence of visible compression-related artefacts. Here we report the results of a large-scale subjective assessment of high dynamic range (HDR) stereoscopic image compression. The ISO/IEC 29170-2 flicker paradigm was adapted for stereoscopic images and used to evaluate two VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) image compression codecs: DSC 1.2a and VDCM 1.2.2. We compared the performance on stereoscopic images versus 2D images for both codecs.
