This article describes a Qt-based C++ application for full-reference stereoscopic video quality assessment, which is platform independent and provides a friendly graphical user interface. The stereoscopic video signals used in the application are based on a two-view model, such as the H.264/AVC standard in the Multiview Video Coding (MVC) profile. In addition, several spatial resolutions are available. The application provides objective video quality algorithms, such as PSNR, SSIM, and PW-SSIM and also incorporates a recently published technique for stereoscopic video quality assessment called Disparity Weighting (DW), which comprises the following algorithms: DPSNR, DSSIM and DPW-SSIM. Numerical results corresponding to the performance of the objective measurements, acquired using the proposed application, are presented. The application aims to contribute to the standardization and development of objective algorithms for stereoscopic content. As an open-source tool to be used by the academia and the industry, the application is used to evaluate impairments in stereoscopic video signals, caused by processing, compression and transmission techniques.
