To various degrees, all modern 3DTV displays suffer from crosstalk, which can lead to a decrease of both visual quality
and visual comfort, and also affect perception of depth. In the absence of a perfect 3D display technology, crosstalk has
to be taken into account when studying perception of 3D stereoscopic content. In order to improve 3D presentation
systems and understand how to efficiently eliminate crosstalk, it is necessary to understand its impact on human
perception. In this paper, we present a practical method to study the perception of crosstalk. The approach consists of
four steps: (1) physical measurements of a 3DTV, (2) building of a crosstalk surface based on those measurements and
representing specifically the behavior of that 3TV, (3) manipulation of the crosstalk function and application on
reference images to produce test images degraded by crosstalk in various ways, and (4) psychophysical tests. Our
approach allows both a realistic representation of the behavior of a 3DTV and the easy manipulation of its resulting
crosstalk in order to conduct psycho-visual experiments. Our approach can be used in all studies requiring the
understanding of how crosstalk affects perception of stereoscopic content and how it can be corrected efficiently.
