Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and example, the present invention is described in detail.
The vision system of the mankind relies on two, left and right eyes to obtain visual information, and corresponding left eye receptive field and right eye receptive field are with a shape but there is certain skew two eyes respectively.Native system is concentrated from compressed picture and is chosen stereo pairs, on the display device left and right view field figure right for image is presented at the right and left of computer screen, is labeled as L (A)-R (A).Wherein, compression collection is according to existing compression algorithm, such as, pictures H.264, after the compression such as DDCT.
Carry out binocular fusion by eyes fusion devices such as stereoscopes, due to binocular parallax, stereoscopic vision can be formed in human brain by the fusion of neural net.By the remarkable computational methods of existing vision, final output and record subjective correlation and perceive number of times, wherein subjective correlation perceive number of times refer to tested by judge aware the fragment whether having fracture in stereotome, and doing button reaction, computer can record tested touch potential and make a decision the mark of correctness.Record the total reproduction time of eyes picture simultaneously.
Based on the picture quality compression appraisal procedure of binocular stereo vision, mainly comprise following three steps: 1) based on receptive field phase difference, obtain left eye characteristic pattern L (A) and the right eye characteristic pattern R (A) of stereotome A.Application H.264, the compression algorithm such as DDCT obtains left eye Feature Compression figure L (A ') and right eye Feature Compression figure R (A ') respectively.In FIG, L (A) represents the left eye characteristic pattern of stereotome A, R (A) represents the right eye characteristic pattern of stereotome A, L (A ') represents the left eye Feature Compression figure into the stereotome A after overcompression process, and R (A ') represents the right eye Feature Compression figure into the stereotome A after overcompression process.L (A)-R (A) in Fig. 1 represents one group of image pair, and namely this image is formed by left eye characteristic pattern L (A) and right eye characteristic pattern R (A); L (A)-R (A ') represents one group of image pair, and namely this image is formed by left eye characteristic pattern L (A) and right eye Feature Compression figure R (A ');
2) binocular fusion: merge the characteristic pattern step of right and left eyes, according to Experiment of Psychology utilizing stereoscope etc. because binocular parallax, can form the object that stereoscopic vision reaches fusion by the fusion of neural net in human brain.
