Hierarchical visual comfort assessment for stereoscopic image retargeting

作者：

Highlights：

• The first visual comfort assessment metric for 3D image retargeting is proposed.

• Our model named Hi-VCA, considers both direct and indirect factors affecting comfort.

• A HVS-based binocular incongruity measurement is delicately designed in Hi-VCA.

• Hi-VCA has the excellent ability to assess retargeting/non-retargeting 3D images.

• We design a breakdown test for robustness validation to overcome the data bottleneck.
