Effect of High Frame Rates on 3D Video Quality of Experience

TL;DR

This study investigates how increasing frame rates in 3D videos affects viewer quality of experience, showing higher frame rates significantly improve perceived quality.

Contribution

It provides empirical evidence that higher frame rates enhance 3D video quality of experience through subjective testing.

Findings

Subjects prefer higher frame rate 3D videos.

MOS for 60 fps videos is 55% higher than for 24 fps.

Higher frame rates lead to better viewer satisfaction.

Abstract

In this paper, we study the effect of 3D videos with increased frame rates on the viewers quality of experience. We performed a series of subjective tests to seek the subjects preferences among videos of the same scene at four different frame rates: 24, 30, 48, and 60 frames per second (fps). Results revealed that subjects clearly prefer higher frame rates. In particular, Mean Opinion Score (MOS) values associated with the 60 fps 3D videos were 55% greater than MOS values of the 24 fps 3D videos.
