Abstract

With the flourishment of 3D content, more and more 3D videos need to be transmitted and stored. The contradiction between the bitrate and the quality loss of stereoscopic images becomes a bottleneck problem. To tackle the problem, the perception characteristics of human visual system (HVS) should be exploited. In this paper, we modify the just noticeable depth difference model (JNDD) and verify its effectiveness using subjective experimental results. The modified JNDD model (MJNDD) consists of a three-piecewise linear function, which is consistent with the characteristics of the physiological structure of HVS. Each segment of the three-piecewise linear function depicts the unique depth perception characteristics in the corresponding depth range. Since MJNDD obtains the support of the physiological experimental results, it fits the subjective experimental data more accurate than the state of the art JNDD models.
