1. A method for guided 3D display adaptation, the method comprising: receiving original input depth data for a stereoscopic image; generating reference depth map data, the reference depth map data being generated in response to the original input depth data and a depth range conversion function; and generating quality of viewing experience (QVE) data in response to the reference depth map data and a reference display QVE mapping, wherein the reference display QVE mapping represents an input-output relationship between input depth or disparity values and output QVE values as determined for the reference display; wherein generating the QVE display value comprises: generating a set of blurred images with a blur filter in response to a view of the test stereo image, wherein each blurred image in the set of blurred images is generated using a different blur parameter; comparing a captured image to one or more of the blurred images in the set of blurred images to determine one or more difference metrics according to an image comparison criterion; and generating the output QVE value in response to the one or more determined difference metrics.
