Performance testing for stereoscopic imaging systems and algorithms

Abstract

Approaches presented herein provide for the testing of imaging algorithms and systems. In at least one embodiment, a stereoscopic test pattern can be obtained that includes a number of features that vary in width and separation, such as may comprise a set of radial elements that converge toward a center point. A stereoscopic image of an instance of the pattern can be analyzed, such as at a set of radial positions, to make various measurements, including a limit on the ability to distinguish between different features. A pair of synthetic images of the pattern can be generated in order to test aspects of a stereoscopic algorithm used to generate stereoscopic images, with such testing being separate from the physical system, and a physical object can be generated that includes a representation of the pattern in order to be able to test the physical stereoscopic imaging system.
