Parameter Comparison of Assessing Visual Fatigue Induced by Stereoscopic Video Services

A number of three-dimensional (3D) video services have already been rolled out over IPTV. In 3D video services, there are concerns that visual fatigue still exists, so evaluation of visual fatigue induced by video compression and delivery factors is necessary to guarantee the safety of 3D video services. To develop an assessment method of visual fatigue, we conducted evaluation experiments designed for 3D videos in which the quality of the left and right frames differ due to encoding. We explain the results from our evaluation experiments of visual fatigue, that is, results of specific parameters of visual fatigue biomedical assessment methods.
