In this paper, we propose a quantitative metric of measuring the degree of the visual fatigue in a stereoscopy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first simplified relative quantitative approach describing visual fatigue value of a stereoscopy. Our experimental result shows that the correlation index of more than 98% is obtained between our Simplified Relative Visual Fatigue (SRVF) model and Mean Opinion Score (MOS).

We previously proposed a robust hybrid edge detector which relaxes the trade off between robustess against noise and accurate localization of the edges. This hybrid detector separates the tasks of localization and noise suppresion between two sub-detectors. In this paper, we present an extension to this hybrid detector to determine its optimal parameters, independently of the scene. This extension defines a probabilistic cost function using for criteria the probability of missing an edge buried in noise and the probability of detecting false edges. The optimization of this cost function allows the automatic selection of the parameters of the hybrid edge detector given the height of the minimum edge to be detected and the variance of the noise, σ2n. The results were applied to the 2D case and the performance of the adaptive hybrid detector was compared to other detectors.
To describe the state of visual communications in the U.S., two words come to mind: digital and anticipation. Although compressed, digital video has been used in teleconferencing systems for at least ten years, it is only recently that a broad consensus has developed among diverse industries anticipating business opportunities, value, or both in digital video. The drivers for this turning point are: advances in digital signal processing, continued improvement in the cost, complexity, and speed of VLSI, maturing international standards and their adoption by vendors and end users, and a seemingly insatiable consumer demand for greater diversity, accessibility, and control of communication systems.
