Evaluation of stereo video visual comfort based on luminance optimization

We extract the foreground region of stereoscopic video by combining the grayscales of left and right view, and synthesize the two pictures into a disparity map, then extract the horizontal parallax and calculate the depth parallax. Finally, we build the depth parallax-visual discomfort model on the basis of subject assessment and optimize the visual discomfort model by considering the luminance influence. Experimental results indicate that the error rate is less than 5% between calculated value and human subjective evaluation results, and most video error rates are less than 1%. The evaluation model is more accord with human subjective perception results and has good practicability, which provides a reference for the stereo video comfort evaluation.
