Juxtaposition between compression and depth for stereoscopic image quality on portable auto-stereoscopic display

Presence of depth and compression artifacts have been identified as major factors that influence subjective quality of experience and satisfaction of 3D imagery visualized on a portable auto-stereoscopic display. The juxtaposition between these two factors has been investigated through psychometric subjective experiment, where participants have evaluated the overall quality of stereoscopic images with varying both presences of depth and compression levels. The results reveal that compression artifacts dominate the quality of experience compared to varying depth range.
