Abstract 

The subjective assessment of the generalized perspective projection (parameterized with projection center d) was conducted using eight omnidirectional images, in equirectangular format, taken from the Salient360! dataset [1]. The Stimulus Comparison Adjectival Categorical Judgment (SCACJ) was selected as an evaluation method. More details about generalized perspective projection, rendered viewport images, and the subjective assessment procedure can be found in [2].

Instructions: 
  • Three viewing directions were considered: front, 45⁰ to the right, 45⁰ to the left.
  • For each viewing direction 10 viewports were rendered with d in {0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1}  and FoV in {90⁰, 110⁰}.
  • Viewports were rendered with d not equal to 0, evaluated as a pair with rectilinear projection (d = 0) as a reference.
  • Score: +1 (slightly better) to +3 (much better) to the most pleasant viewport or 0 in case no difference was detected.
  • Comparative mean opinion score (CMOS) was computed per viewport.
