Benefits of technology

[0006]An object of the present invention is to provide an objective assessment method for a stereoscopic video quality based on a wavelet transform, the method being able to effectively increase a correlation between an objective assessment result and a subjective perception.
[0035]Compared with the conventional technology, the present invention has following advantages.
[0036]Firstly, the present invention fuses the brightness value of the pixels in the left viewpoint image with the brightness value of the pixels in the right viewpoint image in the stereoscopic image in a manner of binocular brightness information fusion, and obtains the binocular fusion brightness image of the stereoscopic image. The manner of binocular brightness information fusion overcomes a difficulty in assessing a stereoscopic perception quality of the stereoscopic video quality assessment to some extent and effectively increases an accuracy of the stereoscopic video objective quality assessment.
[0037]Secondly, the present invention applies the three-dimensional wavelet transform in the stereoscopic video quality assessment. Each frame group in the binocular fusion brightness image video is processed with the one-level three-dimensional wavelet transform, and video time-domain information is described through a wavelet domain decomposition, which solves a difficulty in describing the video time-domain information to some extent and effectively increases the accuracy of the stereoscopic video objective quality assessment.

Problems solved by technology

However, during the process of capturing, compression, coding, transmission, and displaying of the stereoscopic video, it is inevitable to introduce different degrees and kinds of distortion due to a series of uncontrollable factors.
Conventionally, most of the objective assessment methods for the stereoscopic video quality merely simply apply the plane video quality assessment method respectively for assessing the left viewpoint quality and the right viewpoint quality; such objective assessment methods fail to well deal with the relationship between the viewpoints nor consider the influence of the depth perception in the stereoscopic video on the stereoscopic video quality, resulting in the poor accuracy.
Although some of the conventional methods consider the relationship between the two eyes, the weighting between the left viewpoint and the right viewpoint is unreasonable and fails to accurately describe the perception characteristics of the human eyes to the stereoscopic video.
Thus, the conventional objective assessment methods for the stereoscopic video quality fail to accurately reflect the perception characteristics of the human eyes, and have the inaccurate objective assessment results.

Abstract

An objective assessment method for a stereoscopic video quality based on a wavelet transform fuses brightness values of pixels in a left viewpoint image and a right viewpoint image of a stereoscopic image in a manner of binocular brightness information fusion, and obtains a binocular fusion brightness image of the stereoscopic image. The manner of binocular brightness information fusion overcomes a difficulty in assessing a stereoscopic perception quality of a stereoscopic video quality assessment to some extent and effectively increases an accuracy of a stereoscopic video objective quality assessment. When weighing qualities of each frame group in a binocular fusion brightness image video corresponding to a distorted stereoscopic video, the objective assessment method fully considers a sensitivity degree of a human eye visual characteristic to various types of information in the video, and determines a weight of each frame group based on a motion intensity and a brightness difference.
