Visual Comfort Assessment for Stereoscopic Image Retargeting
In recent years, visual comfort assessment (VCA) for 3D/stereoscopic content
has aroused extensive attention. However, much less work has been done on the
perceptual evaluation of stereoscopic image retargeting. In this paper, we
first build a Stereoscopic Image Retargeting Database (SIRD), which contains
source images and retargeted images produced by four typical stereoscopic
retargeting methods. Then, the subjective experiment is conducted to assess
four aspects of visual distortion, i.e. visual comfort, image quality, depth
quality and the overall quality. Furthermore, we propose a Visual Comfort
Assessment metric for Stereoscopic Image Retargeting (VCA-SIR). Based on the
characteristics of stereoscopic retargeted images, the proposed model
introduces novel features like disparity range, boundary disparity as well as
disparity intensity distribution into the assessment model. Experimental
results demonstrate that VCA-SIR can achieve high consistency with subjective
perception
Spatiotemporal superposed rogue-wave-like breathers in a (3+1)-dimensional variable-coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation
A one-to-one relation between a variable-coefficient (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with linear and parabolic potentials and the standard nonlinear Schrödinger equation is presented, and then superposed rogue-wave-like breather solution is obtained. These explicit expressions, describing the evolution of the amplitude, width, center and phase, imply that the diffraction, nonlinearity and gain/loss parameters interplay together to influence evolutional characteristics above. Moreover, the controllable mechanism for fast excitation, maintenance, restraint and recurrence of breather is studied. We also provide an experimental scheme to observe these phenomena in future experiments
