Complete end-to-end 3DTV system over DVB-H
This report describes the Mobile3DTV end-to-end system and the final selection of settings for the
encoder, transmitter and receiver parts. The choice of settings has been based on the available hardware
and software components as well as on the extensive objective and subjective tests carried out during the
project. The end-to-end system supports H.264/MVC in base profile (IPPP, 25fps), and provide error
protection at application layer by slicing and at link layer by MPE-FEC. Two burst per stereo channel are
assumed. Three TV channels are programmed and the corresponding transport streams are pre-recorded and
stored at the play-out for continuous streaming, ODFM modulation and broadcasting of baseband signal.
The latter is received by the prototype handheld device, which demodulates, decapsulates and decodes
streams to play the decoded video on the integrated auto-stereoscopic display. Decoding and playing of
stereo videos of nHD resolution at 30 fps is supported by the decoder. Subjective tests have verified the
usability of the device and the TV service of the system. The tests have involved 41 participants in a
mobile 3DTV use scenario, including free watching of the available three TV channels at spare time in a
cafeteria and participating in semi-structured interviews to give answers about the overall quality,
system components, use scenario and future use of 3D handheld devices, services and applications. The
usability tests have revealed the interest toward mobile 3DTV technology and persisting problems related
with the current display technology.

Tests of broadcasting encoded stereo-video streams with embedded error resilience features
In this study we compare the results real reception experiments with simulations averaged over 100
trials. We simulate the physical layer of the DVB-H channel using a Simulink model. The simulated
channel is Outdoor Residential with max Doppler freq=1 Hz. The coding and transmission parameters are
tuned according to a joint source-channel optimization technique developed within the project. In the
real experiment, the data is transmitted by a PC-based DVB-H transmission system featuring a DECTEC
modulator and received by a PC-connected DVB-H receiver. The Outdoor Residential channel characteristics
are modeled by slowly moving the receiver at a pedestrian speed. The results show that the optimized
parameters for a given transmission bitrate and channel condition give similar SNRs with the real tests.

Optimized visualization on portable autostereoscopic displays
There are various optical parameters that influence the quality of a 3D display – for example resolution,
number of views, angular visibility of each view, crosstalk, etc. However, not all optical parameters
have direct influence on the perceived quality. In this report, we develop a group of algorithms for
optimized visualization on 3D displays. We discuss the operation principles of mobile 3D displays and
identify the optical parameters which have the biggest influence over the visual quality degradation.
We develop measurement methodology, which allows deriving of the important optical parameters of a 3D
display. Additionally, we propose a method for estimating the subjective perceptibility of crosstalk in a
typical observation condition. We give measurement results and perform comparative analysis for 10
different 3D displays. We discuss a set of artefact mitigation algorithms - two algorithms for point-of-
view optimization, and two for visually optimal antialiasing.

3D Video Processing Algorithms - Part II
This report describes novel algorithms developed to enhance the quality of 3D video. It concentrates on
deblocking and sharpening of stereo video, filling in disoccluded holes in depth image –based rendering,
error concealment at the receiver side for both stereo and view plus depth. In addition, optimized
implementations of transform-domain filtering and bilateral filtering are presented. Deblocking and
sharpening of stereo video is achieved by non-local transform-domain collaborative filtering, while
dissoclusions are handled by non-local mean type of inpainting, proved to be superior to other methods by
subjective tests. Two schemes for error concealment of video plus depth, using either complementary
frame or complementary motion vectors are presented. For the case of MVC, concealment using
complementary motion vectors is studied. Implementations of transform-domain filtering and bilateral
filtering at the DSP core of OMAP3 and a GPU by OpenCL are reported.

Novel Stereo-Video Quality Metric
We present the design of a new objective metric for evaluating the quality of stereo video. The design
process has undergone into two stages. First, specific subjective tests were designed and conducted to
facilitate the design of the metric. Then, the metric was designed and validated using the results of the
tests. Correspondingly, the report is given into two parts. The first part describes the subjective tests
and the second part describes the metric design. The results show that the amount of artefacts in the
visual content dominances the experienced quality. The depth influences the experienced quality and 3D
was valuated favourably to 2D. However, the amount of artefacts is critical for the experienced quality
and the acceptance of the visual output. The results also show that videos with two best QP values (25
and 30) are practically the only acceptable options. The new metric was designed with the aim to provide
modules for characterizing the 2D-type and 3D-type of distortions. Specifically, a recent 2D metric
abbreviated as PSNR- VHS has been selected as the main block to evaluate the 2D type of artefacts, as it
proved superior for large classes of distortions. The metric takes into account the contrast sensitivity
masking mechanism of the human vision through block-DCT transform-domain masking. The metric was modified
to work for smaller blocks (i.e. 4x4) in order to make it more suitable for H.264 encoding applications.

Results of user-centered quality evaluation experiments and usability
tests of prototype
In this report we present our work towards finalization of the user-centered quality of experience
evaluation framework. During the standardization activities for our framework, we identified the need for
comparisons of OPQ with related methods and evaluation approaches to increase its validity. The first
study compares OPQ evaluation done in laboratory and the context of use and shows comparable results in
the statistical analysis. The second study introduces the Extended-OPQ approach which allows deriving
components of Quality of Experience from a series of OPQ studies. The developed QoE terminology for
mobile 3D video has been applied in a second study and the results are compared to OPQ evaluation. The
comparison shows again comparable results for OPQ and the descriptive evaluation with fixed vocabulary,
but also reveals a need for further work towards an optimized terminology. Altogether, the results of the
studies contribute to the validity of OPQ and finalize its methodological development. The second part of
the report includes the preparations of a final prototype evaluation for MOBILE3DTV. Although we were
not able to conduct the study due to unavailability of the prototype at the planned time, we report in
detail the test procedure and the selection of the independent variables to provide a valid research
plan.

Optimized Methods and Algorithms
In this report, we present the results based on the optimization of the parameters in the coding and
transmission chain. For this purpose, first we have conducted more tests to narrow down the number of
parameters to be used in the optimization process and point out the most important ones. We have also
extended the simulations to see whether a layered structure is beneficial or not, since the use of data
partitioning could provide us better robustness under lossy channel conditions. While evaluating the
quality of the transmitted video we have used both PSNR and a novel perceptually oriented 3D metric. We
also propose a heuristic methodology for modeling the end-to-end rate-distortion (RD) characteristic of a
DVH transmission system to optimally select the parameters of the video encoder and the error correction
scheme to minimize the overall distortion.

Final report on coding algorithms for mobile 3DTV
A low complexity view synthesis algorithm suitable for mobile devices has been developed and implemented.
The implemented renderer provides two different modes. The first mode enables very fast processing by
rounding disparities to integer values to avoid interpolation. The second mode supports floating point
disparities by interpolation at sub pixel positions. For both modes pre-processing filters for the depth
and post-processing filters for the rendered view have been implemented.
A method for removing irrelevant information from depth maps in Video plus Depth coding is presented.
Irrelevant edges and features in the depth map can be damped while the quality of the rendered view is
retained. The processed depth maps can be coded at a reduced rate compared to unaltered data. Coding
experiments show gains up to 0.5dB for the rendered view at the same bit rate.
The integration of the PSNR-HVS, to the JMVC Software for Multiview coding is described. A QP dependent
correction factor for the Lagrange multiplier has been determined. The modified rate-distortion
optimization process leads to gains up to 1.6dB PSNR-HVS using the new video quality metric.
A final summary of the stereo video formats and coding methods evaluated in the Mobile3DTV project is
given; results and advancements are pointed out.

Report on generation of stereo video data base
Availability of suitable test data is a crucial condition for research and
development in video processing and coding. In order to lay the fundaments
for further research and development in the project, a data base of stereo
video was created. This deliverable gives an overview of the available
stereo video material. In total 32 stereo and multiview sequences are
available to the project, which is an extremely rich data set. To our
knowledge it is the biggest stereo video data set worldwide. For instance,
the test data set that is used in MPEG for development of the new 3D video
standard is only a subset of our data set. Half of the material is available
with full copyright from the server of the project. The available data are
listed and illustrated. Main characteristics of the content in terms of
motion, colour, texture, light, indoor/outdoor, depth, etc. are provided.
Computer animated stereo sequences have been created from 3D models
available under creative commons licence using the professional rendering
software Blender. In collaboration with WP4 a subset of gathered and new
created content has been chosen and declared as the projects test set for
subjective evaluations. This document reflects the current status of the
stereo video data base. The process of collecting stereo video test data
will be ongoing and new content will be added as soon as available.

Modelling of the stereoscopic HVS
The report presents an overview of fields of study, related with modelling
of the human visual system and perception of visual information – HVS anatomy
and physiology, HVS modelling, and visual quality metrics. State-of-the-art
in HVS modelling, including modelling of light adaptation, contrast sensitivity,
and spatiotemporal masking is presented. Special attention to the visual mechanisms
responsible for stereoscopic perception is paid. The algorithms behind the most
popular visual quality metrics are described along with a comparative study of
15 metrics over a database of stereoscopic video streams. Arguments are provided
about why 2D metrics fail when applied to 3D quality evaluation. The overview
grounds the need of running subjective tests about the relative importance
of different 3D visual cues on portable autostereoscopic display and about the
influence of varying depth on the overall visual quality. The results of first stage
of these studies are presented. Finally, a model of the stereoscopic HVS, suitable for
feature based 3D video quality evaluation and the corresponding image processing channel are discussed.

3D Video Processing Algorithms
- Part I
This report describes algorithms developed to enhance the quality of 3D
video. At the pre-processing side, we have addressed the following
scenarios: stereo-video with higher resolution to be downscaled to meet
the resolution of mobile 3D display; stereo-video captured at noisy
conditions (e.g. user-created content) to be denoised; depth map in the
format "view+depth" to be further refined. At the post-processing side we
address the problem of dealing with depth map impaired by blocky artifacts
resulted from block transform based encoders, such as H.264. For all
these cases, we investigate advanced algorithms and present experimental
results illustrating their performance.

Results of quality attributes
of coding, transmission and their combinations
The report presents the results of two large-scale user studies in which
we evaluated the perceived quality of mobile 3D television and video along
its production chain. Open Profiling of Quality (OPQ) was applied as
research method. OPQ is a combined research method of psychoperceptual
evaluation and sensory profiling. It allows connecting user preferences to
experienced quality factors. In our studies, we evaluated different coding
approaches and transmission parameters in two large-scale studies. The
results showed that mobile3DTV can reach acceptable quality when
parameters are chosen correctly. Multiview Coding and the Video+Depth
approach are the preferred coding methods. Transmission parameters
strongly depend on the channel characteristics. The critical quality
factor in the perception of mobile3DTV is the level of perceivable
artifacts. The application of OPQ showed that added value by depth
perception is only given if artifact-free content is perceived. The
results of these studies give recommendations for the development of the
critical system components.

Third Version of Terminal Device
This report describes the design and implementation of the third version
of the terminal device. It is the final form factor of the mobile device,
and this version includes all components of the final system. Namely, the
chosen processing platform has been designed and produced in the final
form factor and coupled to current version of the auto-stereoscopic LCD.
Software support for the key project-specific components such as for
processing and playing stereo video content, have been developed as well.
From platform perspective the goal of this version is to help the team to
validate the integration of the proposed device, the performance of
targeted components and the interoperability between them from both HW and
SW. The second goal is to verify the system interfaces (again both HW and
SW), power management and to enable validation of the performance metrics
like quantify the performance of the integrated display, DVB- H stack and
developed player.

Stereo DVB-H broadcasting
system with error resilient tools
In this report, we present a complete framework of an end-to-end transport
of 3D video over DVB-H. The framework includes both Video + Depth and
Stereo representations of 3D Video and corresponding coding methods
(either multi-view or simulcast video coding), with or without slice;
different error control schemes such as Unequal Error Protection (UEP)
where the channel coding ratio among the streams is determined according
to the priority level of the streams and Equal Error Protection (EEP),
error concealment schemes such as slice and frame concealment. Extensive
summations have been performed to find an effective compromise between
compression efficiency/MPE-FEC code rates and robustness with respect to
typical channel conditions.

Development and optimization
of coding algorithms for mobile 3DTV
Error resilience tools for H.264/AVC are presented. Slice encoding has
been implemented in the H.264/MVC reference software JMVC 5.0.5. An
evaluation of the new encoder shows that the additional bit rate needed
for the error resilience can be neglected for error free channels. In
case of error-prone channel the new slice mode provides sufficient error
resilience. The Mixed Resolution Stereo Coding (MRSC) approach has been
evaluated. The optimal bit rate distribution between left and down sample
right view has been examined. The Advanced Mixed Resolution Stereo Coding
(AMRSC) approach has been developed. The three main features of AMRSC are
optimized down sampling, interview prediction and view enhancement using
unsharp masking. The suitability of sub sampling and low pass filtering
together with interview prediction has objectively been evaluated.
Further improvements of coding efficiency have been achieved by optimizing
the bit rate distribution between the full view and the predicted
down-sampled view. AMRSC is compliant with the overall MVC coding
strategy in Mobile3DTV. For subjective evaluation of coding methods 96
test stimuli have been generated from the six sequences of the coding test
set using Simulcast, Multi View, Mixed Resolution and Video + Depth
coding. Two codec profile and a low and a high quality level have been
used. 24 test stimuli have been generated for subjective evaluation of
transmission approaches using Simulcast, Multi View and Video + Depth
coding. Half of the 24 sequences have been coded using the new encoder
supporting error resilience methods.

Results of the user-centred
quality evaluation experiments
This study had two main goals. Firstly, we explored the impact of
different evaluation contexts on users' experienced quality. Secondly, we
studied the impact of audio and video coding parameters on experienced
overall 3D quality. We conducted two extensive quality evaluation
experiments in four different contexts of use with several relatively low
audio-video coding parameters (bitrate, framerate, presentation mode)
and content types. The experiments were conducted on a portable device
using parallax barrier display technology and stereovideo coding with each
view independently encoded. Our results showed contextual differences in
quality requirements between the laboratory and field circumstances.
They were influenced by the behaviour of human attention, physical and
social distractions, and users actively seeking for good viewing
conditions. We recommend using contextual quality evaluation method with
hybrid data-collection scheme parallel to controlled laboratory studies to
confirm that the optimization of system factors are also meaningful for
the field settings. The results of parameter comparisons showed that the
current mobile television and near future bitrates (320kbps and 768kbps)
provided equally pleasant viewing experience independently on used
framerates in 3D mode. The significant increase in the bitrate-framerate
resources did not either improve the perceived quality or reach the most
pleasantly rated level of 2D quality. 2D viewing was experienced as
pleasurable, easy to view and error free compared to 3D viewing and
required fewer adjustments in the viewing conditions. These results show
strong dependency on the used display technology. To go beyond this
limitation, further studies comparing critical system factors should be
conducted with at least two display technologies.

Report on generation of mixed spatial resolution stereo data base
Availability of suitable test data is a crucial condition for research and
development in video
processing and coding. In order to provide this fundamental data for further
research and development in
the project a database of Mixed Resolution data was created. For this, one
view was sub-sampled by a
factor of two in both dimensions. The resulting sequence was up-sampled
again to serve as uncoded
reference view. Tests show that the subjective quality of an uncoded Mixed
Resolution stereo sequence is
impaired compared to the Full Resolution sequence (both views have full
resolution), but bitrate can be
saved or spent for a higher coding quality. Further tests show that the
difference between Mixed
Resolution and Full Resolution sequences is reduced when displayed on small
screens or large distance.
Complexity evaluations demonstrate that it is less complex to decode and
up-sample a Mixed Resolution
sequence, than decoding a Full Resolution sequence.

Evaluation of the strategies for error resilient transmission of 3D data
through a transmitter-channel-receiver pipeline
In this report, we study error-resilient approaches aimed at better error
protection of stereo video content to be transmitted over DVB-H. We focus on
channel models described in the recent DVB-H implementation guide. For this
models, we run extensive simulations to quantify the advantages and
disadvantages of different protection schemes for different video bit rates.
Our error-protection schemes are based on the standard for DVB-H. DVB-H uses
FEC for error protection at physical layer and comes with an optional FEC
tool (MPE-FEC) at the link-layer. In our approach, we propose to use the a
priori knowledge of the transmitted media and apply MPE-FEC intelligently to
provide better robustness. That is, we investigate Unequal Error Protection
(UEP) favouring the more important content. Extensive simulation results are
given to show the effect of MPE-FEC and UEP on 3D coded video under
different channel models, conditions and bitrates.

Second version of the terminal device
This report describes the hardware and software design and implementation
of the second version of the terminal device. At that stage the goal has
been twofold: first, to start developing a novel general framework for
integration of all software components needed for the normal functioning
of the final device, including the architecture and the resource control,
second, to integrate the DVB-H front-end to the development platform.
This integration consists of hardware interfacing of the selected DVB-T
receiver module and design and implementation of all the required software
components. Namely, appropriate OS, Linux SPI driver, driver support for
the DVB-T module, DVB-T signal processing software, appropriate player,
flexible framework in which all the software components will be
implemented. The goal of this device version is to help the team to verify
the selected interfaces both SW and HW. The other goal is to evaluate all
the SW components, and to do some measurements of the performance for
future optimization.

Results of the user-centred quality evaluation experiments
This study had two main goals. Firstly, we explored the impact of different
evaluation contexts on users' experienced quality. Secondly, we studied the
impact of audio and video coding parameters on experienced overall 3D
quality. We conducted two extensive quality evaluation experiments in four
different contexts of use with several relatively low audio-video coding
parameters (bitrate, framerate, presentation mode) and content types. The
experiments were conducted on a portable device using barallax barrier
display technology and stereovideo coding with each view independently
encoded. Our results based on quantitative evaluations showed some
differences in the contextual quality requirements. Our initial analysis
indicate that the current mobile television and near future bitrates
(320kbps and 768kbps) provided equally pleasant viewing experience
independently on used framerates in 3D mode. The significant increase in the
bitrate-framerate resources did not either improve the perceived quality or
reach the most pleasantly rated level of 2D quality. These results might
strongly display dependant. The further analysis needs to complement these
results with the analysis of content dependant differences, qualitative
quality impressions and gaze patterns to understand the quality and
contextual differences.

Report on research methodologies for the experiments
Subjective quality evaluation is a widely used method in the optimization of
system performance as a part of end-products. Conventionally used
psychoperceptual evaluation methods do not relate the evaluation to factors
of the potential use of the system or service. It is often desirable to know
whether the quality of the components of system meets the user requirements
and that the performance of system is not over or under optimized.
The major aim of this report is to present a framework for holistic
user-centered (audio) visual quality evaluation method.
Minor aims of this report are to describe the overall plan for the content
of the experiments and continue the work of user-center design for mobile
3DTV by describing the relevant use cases.

Mobile stereo video broadcast
In this report, the DVB-H channel is studied for its capabilities to
transmit stereo video in different formats and to provide adequate error
protection for such content. The following stereo video representations are
considered: two channel stereo, encoded either independently with H.264
encoder (simulcast) or by multi-view coding (MVC) and video plus depth both
encoded by H.264. These encoding approaches are implemented and combined
with an IP streaming application. DVB-H specific tools, such as MPE-FEC
encapsulator and decapsulator and physical layer simulator complement the
software environment built to run end-to-end video transmission simulations.
In the experimental tests, various physical channel models are used to
represent different reception conditions. These are put against different
stereo video encoding modes and MPE-FEC rates. The preliminary results show
the feasibility of the DVB-H channel to handle encoded stereo video streams.
They also illustrate the problems of transmission in bad channel conditions,
which should be addressed by optimizing the MPE-FEC rates and developing
novel application layer error protection schemes.

Software for simulation of artefacts and database of impaired videos
In this report we present a framework for simulating stereoscopic artefacts.
Within the framework, an arbitrary combination of artefacts can be
introduced to a video, with controlled amount of impairment for each
artefact. We utilize our taxonomy of artefact built earlier, which follows
the typical flow of a mobile 3D video over a DVB-H channel and summarises
the artefacts into the following groups: capture artefacts, coding
artefacts, conversion artefacts, transmission artefacts and visualization
artefacts. We introduce an artefact- simulation channel, in which the
artefacts are introduced in an order, natural for the mobile 3D video
dataflow - first capture artefacts are added, then coding ones, and so
forth. For each artefact included in the framework, we explain the algorithm
we use for its simulation. Our framework is modular and could be extended to
simulate additional types of artefacts. Any particular modelling block can
be also modified or replaced. The framework has been implemented under
MATLAB. We provide a quick user guide of the implementation, covering the
GUI, installation, basic usage and batch operations over a library of
stereoscopic videos.

First version of terminal device
This report describes the design and implementation of the first version
of the terminal device. While not having the final form factor of a mobile
device, this version includes key components of the final system.
Namely, the chosen processing platform has been coupled with two types of
auto-stereoscopic LCD. Key SW components for the processing and playing
stereo video have been targeted as well. From platform perspective the
goal of this version is to help the team to assess the system architecture
of the proposed device, the feasibility of implementation, the performance
of targeted components and the interoperability between them from both HW
and SW point of view. The second goal is to verify the system interfaces
(again both HW and SW) and to establish some performance metrics so to
quantify the performance of the integrated displays and developed player.

Adaptation and optimization of coding algorithms for mobile 3DTV
As a starting point and reference for the further research, this deliverable
specifies and evaluates available coding standards for 3D video for the
specific conditions in the Mobile3DTV project. The following stereo video
formats and codecs are specified and evaluated:
H.264/AVC simulcast,
H.264 Stereo SEI message,
H.264/MVC,
MPEG-C Part 3 using H.264 for both video and depth,
H.264 auxiliary picture syntax for video plus depth.
Significant coding gains can be achieved with hierarchical B pictures for
temporal prediction, but the gain differs largely for individual sequences.
On the other hand hierarchical B pictures also mean increased complexity and
memory requirements.
Inter-view prediction leads to a significant reduction of bitrate for some
sequences. However, in other cases the gain is negligible. We achieved up to
35% bitrate savings from inter-view prediction compared to stereo simulcast.
Inter-view prediction whether as H.264 SEI or MVC does not add substantial
complexity.
A representation as video plus depth is an interesting alternative for 3D
video. It allows to adjust the stereo rendering at the decoder and to
optimally adapt the 3D impression for any given display. However, this
extended functionality comes at the cost of an increased complexity. MPEG-C
Part 3 is suitable for encoding of video plus depth data. Good depth quality
is essential for good overall quality.

Report on generation of video plus depth
data base
Availability of suitable test data is a crucial condition for research and
development in video processing and coding. In order to lay the fundaments
for further research and development in the project, a database of video
plus depth data was created. Depth was estimated using Hybrid Recursive
Matching (HRM) previously developed at FHG-HHI for the left view of each
stereo pair. Then, the corresponding right view was rendered from the left
view and the estimated depth. For quality assessment the visual impression
was evaluated inspecting synthesized right views and the stereo impression
on small displays for mobile applications. Artefacts are visible in the
synthesized right views. But due to masking effects with the original left
view, they are almost not noticeable when watching stereo on a small display.

Report on generation of stereo video data base
Availability of suitable test data is a crucial condition for research and
development in video processing and coding. In order to lay the fundaments
for further research and development in the project, a data base of stereo
video was created. This deliverable gives an overview of the available
stereo video material. In total 28 stereo and multiview sequences are
available to the project, which is an extremely rich data set. To our
knowledge it is the biggest stereo video data set worldwide. For instance,
the test data set that is used in MPEG for development of the new 3D video
standard is only a subset of our data set. Half of the material is available
with full copyright from the server of the project. The available data are
listed and illustrated. Main characteristics of the content in terms of
motion, colour, texture, light, indoor/outdoor, depth, etc. are provided.
This document reflects the current status of the stereo video data base. The
process of collecting stereo video test data will be ongoing and new content
will be added as soon as available.

Classification of stereoscopic artefacts
Stereoscopic artefacts which occur during delivery of mobile stereoscopic
video are described and categorised. In order to predict how an artefact
would be interpreted by the human visual system, the stages of 3D video
delivery dataflow (content creation, conversion to the desired format,
coding/decoding, transmission, and visualisation) were matched against the
different visual subsystems of human (structural, colour, motion and
binocular vision). The artefacts are summarized in a table and for each
artefact the causes for occurrence, how it affects the 3D vision, and
studies referring to it are presented.
