Vertical resolution loss and perceptual 3D video quality

Most currently available 3DTV displays use either shutter glasses or polarized glasses. Each display type has distinct advantages and disadvantages. 3D display monitors with polarized glasses provide a comfortable viewing experience, but can suffer from vertical resolution loss. On the other hand, since 3D UHD display monitors are now widely available, it is possible to offer full HD 3D programs without any vertical resolution loss by using UHD 3D display monitors with polarized glasses. In this paper, we performed several subjective tests to compare the perceptual 3D video quality obtained with HD and UHD monitors in order to investigate the impact of vertical resolution loss on perceptual 3D video quality.
