Research group of Prof. Yu Lu in Department of Information Science and Electronics Engineering involved in research on visual perception, objective visual perceptual quality assessment, and video processing algorithms, etc. in recent years and reached a series of standardization and industrialization achievements. In 2014, a project proposed by this group together with a team from the Department of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences of ZJU got financial support from the NSFC as a Key Project. This project aims to establish a computational model of binocular vision characteristics by systematically exploiting the mechanism of information processing in binocular vision system and revealing perceptual characteristics of binocular vision system, based on the research achievement of psychophysiology on human vision. On the basis of the comprehensive binocular visual characteristics model, an assessment system of quality of binocular visual experience (QobvE) is proposed and a series of 3D video processing methods are developed to improve or adjust the QobvE, which may be useful for 3D video content generation and production, compression and presentation, such that 3D video service can provide more reasonable and better content which results in healthy, comfortable and pleasant visual experience and promotes development of 3D video related industry.
