I can See Clearly Now—In 3D: New Test Patterns for a New Format

Norm Hurst

The emergence of stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) video brings with it a need for convenient tools for rapid verification and evaluation of displays and signal chains. 3D signal chains have all the usual 2D issues, with the addition of left-right matching of timing and tone scale, as well as special subsampling and compression issues. 3D displays also have issues of timing, tone scale, and subsampling, in addition to viewing angle and left-right crosstalk. This paper will examine measurement techniques that use test sequences to quickly evaluate these 3D system and display parameters.
