  • 整合基准生成、混合主观评测与客观指标分析的标准化流程
  • 多类失真下客观指标整体性能下降,视图合成失真影响显著
  • 提出细粒度主观评估方法,适合标准制定与新兴光场编码研究

在沉浸式媒体编码的标准制定背景下,可靠的主观质量评估(QA)流程与跨失真类型保持准确的客观指标至关重要。本文提出了一个面向光场质量评估的标准化工作流,该工作流在JPEG Pleno标准制定活动中开发并部署,涵盖基准生成、混合主观评价和客观指标分析。该基准不仅包含传统编码失真,还涵盖光场编码伴随视图合成与重建技术产生的失真。提出一种混合主观方法,通过参考锚定评分与感知模糊区域的定向成对修正实现细粒度评估。通过两组观察者之间的统计一致性分析验证了主观评分的可靠性。系统评估了一组大规模客观指标,涵盖全局预测精度、模糊区域局部一致性及跨失真族的鲁棒性。结果表明,多个指标在仅编码失真下表现良好,但引入视图合成失真后性能持续下降。分析进一步强调了视图池化策略在设计未来光场质量指标中的重要性。本工作提供了可复现且符合标准要求的细粒度光场质量评估框架,同时指出现有客观指标在新兴编码流水线下的关键局限。主观标注数据集已公开:https://plenodb.jpeg.org/lfqa/objectivecfp。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Benchmarking immersive media coding solutions, especially in the standardization context, requires reliable and reproducible subjective quality assessment (QA) procedures, along with objective quality metrics that remain accurate across different distortion types. This paper presents a standardized workflow for light field QA, developed and deployed in the context of JPEG Pleno standardization activities, which integrates benchmark generation, a hybrid subjective evaluation, and objective metric analysis into a common workflow. The benchmark is designed to encompass not only traditional coding-only artifacts but also distortions that arise in processing pipelines in which light field encoding is accompanied with view synthesis and reconstruction techniques. A hybrid subjective method is proposed enabling fine-grained assessment by combining reference-anchored quality rating with targeted pairwise refinement in perceptually ambiguous regions. The reliability of subjective scores is verified using statistical consistency analyses between observers of two cohorts. Finally, a large set of objective metrics is systematically evaluated in terms of global prediction accuracy, local agreement in ambiguous quality regions, and robustness across distortion families. The results show that several metrics achieve strong agreement for coding-only stimuli, but their performance consistently drops when view synthesis distortions are included. The analysis further highlights the importance of view-pooling strategy in the design of future light field quality metrics. The work provides a reproducible and standardization-ready framework for fine-grained light field QA, while identifying key limitations of current objective metrics under emerging coding pipelines. The subjectively annotated dataset is publicly available at https://plenodb.jpeg.org/lfqa/objectivecfp.
