Which One is Better: Assessing Objective Metrics for Point Cloud Compression
Point cloud compression (PCC) has made remarkable achievement in recent years. In the mean time, point cloud quality assessment (PCQA) also realize gratifying development. Some recently emerged metrics present robust performance on public point cloud assessment databases. However, these metrics have not been evaluated specifically for PCC to verify whether they exhibit consistent performance with the subjective perception. In this paper, we establish a new dataset for compression evaluation first, which contains 175 compressed point clouds in total, deriving from 7 compression algorithms with 5 compression levels. Then leveraging the proposed dataset, we evaluate the performance of the existing PCQA metrics in terms of different compression types. The results demonstrate some deficiencies of existing metrics in compression evaluation.
