Introducing A Public Stereoscopic 3D High Dynamic Range (SHDR) Video Database
High Dynamic Range (HDR) displays and cameras are paving their ways through
the consumer market at a rapid growth rate. Thanks to TV and camera
manufacturers, HDR systems are now becoming available commercially to end
users. This is taking place only a few years after the blooming of 3D video
technologies. MPEG/ITU are also actively working towards the standardization of
these technologies. However, preliminary research efforts in these video
technologies are hammered by the lack of sufficient experimental data. In this
paper, we introduce a Stereoscopic 3D HDR (SHDR) database of videos that is
made publicly available to the research community. We explain the procedure
taken to capture, calibrate, and post-process the videos. In addition, we
provide insights on potential use-cases, challenges, and research
opportunities, implied by the combination of higher dynamic range of the HDR
aspect, and depth impression of the 3D aspect
