Comparison of 3D video subjective quality evaluated using polarisation and autostereoscopic displays

An important question, that is whether for the subjective evaluation of three-dimensional (3D) video can be performed on one type of 3D monitor only or whether multiple types of displays are required in order to obtain reliable results, is answered. The experimental material used in this reported work includes mean opinion score (MOS) data collected on two types of monitors: polarisation and autostereoscopic. An analysis of this data is reported. The observed high correlation of the gathered quality metrics clearly indicates that the results obtained using the polarisation monitor are as statistically significant as the results obtained using the autostereoscopic one. Therefore, to save time, only one type of monitor can be used.
