Plenoptic Quality Assessment: The JPEG Pleno Experience

Plenoptic representations, like light fields, point clouds or digital holography, provide the means for 3D representations suitable for multiple immersive and computer vision applications. JPEG has been standardizing coding tools for these types of plenoptic data in its project JPEG Pleno. This standardization effort has been developing quality assessment models suitable for the quality evaluation of the coding technologies. In this tutorial the quality assessment methodologies defined for the evaluation of the different proposals of the three plenoptic modalities, are explained. The tutorial also includes possible alternatives considered in the definition of the quality assessment models and the selection of appropriate anchors decided during JPEG Pleno development process.
