TL;DR: The correlation between subjective and objective evaluation of color plus depth video and transmission over Internet protocol (IP) is investigated, and subjective results are used to determine more accurate objective quality assessment metrics for 3D color plus Depth video.

TL;DR: Investigation is the correlation between subjective and objective evaluations of colour plus depth map 3-D video, which is used to determine more accurate objective quality assessment metrics for colour plusdepth map based stereoscopic video.

TL;DR: The sensitivity of humans for different depth cues is analyzed as applicable to 3-D viewing on stereoscopic displays and mathematical models are derived to explain the just noticeable difference in depth (JNDD) for three differentdepth cues, namely binocular disparity, retinal blur, and relative size.

TL;DR: Experimental results suggest that the bit rate for depth map coding can be reduced up to 78% for the depth maps captured with depth-range cameras and up to 24% with computer vision algorithms, without affecting the 3-D visual quality or the arbitrary view synthesis quality for free-viewpoint video applications.

TL;DR: This work proposes a novel content adaptive enhancement technique applied to the previously estimated multi-view depth map sequences that enforces consistency across the spatial, temporal and inter-view dimensions of the depth maps so that both the coding efficiency and the quality of the synthesized views are improved.
