Subjective and objective quality assessment for volumetric video

Volumetric video (VV) is a novel form of video that allows recreation of real-world scenes in 3D with users consuming the content from any viewpoint they desire. This makes VV best suited for augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) applications. This freedom necessitates increased user interaction with the VV itself, which brings new...

Evaluation of point cloud features for no-reference visual quality assessment

The development and widespread adoption of immersive XR applications has led to a renewed interest in representations that are capable of reproducing real-world objects and scenes with high fidelity. Among such representations, point clouds have attracted the interest of industry and academia alike, and new compression solutions have been...

Designing Real-time, Continuous QoE Score Acquisition Techniques for HMD-based 360°VR Video Watching

Watching HMD-based 360° video has become in-creasing popular as a medium for immersive viewing of photo-realistic content. To evaluate subjective video quality, researchers typically prompt users to provide an overall Quality of Experience (QoE) score after viewing a stimulus. However, since users can adjust their viewport throughout a 360°...

A reduced reference metric for visual quality evaluation of point cloud contents

Point cloud representation has seen a surge of popularity in recent years, thanks to its capability to reproduce volumetric scenes in immersive scenarios. New compression solutions for streaming of point cloud contents have been proposed, which require objective quality metrics to reliably assess the level of degradation introduced by coding...
