A metric of stereoscopic image retargeting quality assessment

Many previous works on the stereoscopic image retargeting are proposed. In this paper, we present the first study on objective assessment for stereoscopic image retargeting quality (SIRQ). Firstly, we build a dataset using four kinds of stereoscopic image retargeting methods and conduct a subjective experiment to evaluate the retargeted images according to ITU´s recommendations. Then we introduce a novel measurement for SIRQ by fusing picture quality and stereo perception quality. We derive an objective metric and validate it by a user study. Finally, we analyse the metric´s performance and discuss the influence factors. It shows that many works are needed to be researched further in the future.
