New Metric for Stereo Image Quality Assessment Based on HVS

摘要

Stereo image is regarded as an important trend of image technology, and there is an increasing need to develop efficient measures for stereo image quality evaluation. By analyzing the main properties of human visual system that is related to stereo image, a new metric based on human visual systems (HVSs) for stereo image quality assessment is proposed in this article. This method assesses stereo images from the perspective of image quality and stereo sense. The experimental results are presented to show that the pro-posed metric provides results consistent with the subjective assess-ment and thus can be employed to reflect image quality and stereo sense.
