Abstract
Modern photogrammetric methods as well as laser
measurement systems make it easy to collect large 3D
point clouds that sample objects or environments. As
the recorded point clouds can be used to render
computer-generated images and models, they are of
particular interest in the domains of geographical
and architectural engineering, as well as for
computer graphics (e.g., games or virtual
reality). However, point clouds have a huge storage
demand, thus, point clouds shall be reduced by
removing some of the points. This will inevitably
also reduce the Quality of Experience (QoE) of
media, which is rendered from the reduced point
clouds. In this work, the impact of two different
reduction methods on the QoE of rendered images is
investigated from two point of views, i.e., based on
ratings from both naive crowdworkers as well as
point cloud experts.
