Cross‐talk acceptability in natural still images for different (auto)stereoscopic display technologies

— One of the most annoying distortions in (auto)stereoscopic displays is probably cross-talk, visible as double edges, which is mainly caused by an imperfect separation of left- and right-eye images. For different types of three-dimensional (3-D) displays, cross-talk is caused by different origins, which could result in different levels of perceived image distortion. To evaluate the influence of (auto)stereoscopic display technology on cross-talk perception, optical measurements and subjective assessments were performed with three different types of 3-D displays. It is shown with natural still images that the 3-D display technology with the lowest luminance and contrast level tolerates the highest level of cross-talk, while still maintaining an acceptable image-quality level.
