IMCL Stereoscopic Omnidirectional Image quality assessment Database (SOLID) - Phase II
Introduction
Stereoscopic omnidirectional images are eye-catching because of its realistic and immersive experience. Due to the extra depth perception provided by the stereoscopic omnidirectional images, it is desirable and urgent to evaluate the overall quality of experience (QoE) of these images, including image quality, depth perception, and so on. However most existing studies are based on 2D omnidirectional images and only image quality is taken into account. As a result, we establish the very first Stereoscopic OmnidirectionaL Image quality assessment Database (SOLID). Three subjective evaluating factors are considered in our database, namely image quality, depth perception, and overall QoE.

Database Description
There are 6 high-quality reference stereoscopic omnidirectional images with the resolution of 8192 × 8192 in our database. The stereoscopic omnidirectional images are in the format of top-and-bottom that left and right view images are packed vertically. There are 3 depth levels for each reference stereoscopic omnidirectional image in our experiment: 1) zero disparity images where there is no disparity between left and right view images, 2) medium disparity images, and 3) large disparity images. To simulate the quality degradation, each reference image is compressed into BPG format with different quantization parameters or JPEG format with different quality parameters. The reference stereoscopic omnidirectional images are distorted either symmetrically or asymmetrically in our database. The symmetrical and asymmetrical distortion is determined according to whether the left and right view images are distorted with the same distortion level.
