✦ Synopsis
The present research assessed the subjective image-quality of stereo sequences where the left-and right-eye views differed in severity of compression. Viewers watched image sequences where the left-eye view was displayed at a higher quality than the right-eye view, and rated the combined overall subjective image-quality of the sequence. Three stereo image sequences were used for assessment. Each sequence, in the ITU-R 601 format, was 10 s in duration and the images for the left-eye view were coded independently of the right-eye view, at bit-rates of 6, 3, 2 and 1 Mbits/s, using MPEG-2, Main Profile/Main Level syntax. These were combined to generate stereo sequences where the bit-rates were (left : right
