MiX-LFQDB: MIUN-Xidian Light Field Quality Database for Compressed Light Field Images using Learning-based vs. Conventional Methods

This database was created by a joint effort from the Realistic 3D research group at Mid Sweden University (Sundsvall, Sweden) and the School of Telecommunications Engineering in Xidian University (Xi'an, China). The database details are explained thoroughly in the publication, which is accepted (and to appear in the proceedings of) the 27th IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing (MMSP) in 2025.  You can use this database in your work under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC-BY 4.0) licence, provided that you cite the database as below: Zerman, E., Takhtardeshir, S., Trioux, A., Qin, J., Wu, W., Olsson, R., & Sjöström, M.

The 85 LF stimuli were generated from 5 source LFs using 4 different LF compression methods, comprising two conventional methods (H.265/HEVC and JPEG Pleno) and two learning-based methods (RLVC and EF-VAE).
