Problems solved by technology

However, the mapping and encoding of multi-channel panoramic videos in the above processing process requires huge computing resources, which puts a huge pressure on the transcoding system currently deployed on the CPU, and it is difficult to achieve real-time processing.
Therefore, it can only be used for VR video on demand, and cannot meet the needs of VR video live broadcast.

Abstract

The invention provides a panoramic video transcoding method, apparatus and device. The method comprises the following steps: performing decoding processing on a panoramic video; mapping the decoded video data to N viewing angles to obtain N paths of video data, wherein the N is a preset positive integer; respectively encoding the N paths of video data to obtain N paths of video streams; respectively slicing and packing the N paths of video streams; wherein part or all of the decoding, mapping, and encoding are executed by a graphical processor GPU. In the panoramic video transcoding, some or all of the processing of decoding, mapping and encoding is executed by the GPU, and the method for accelerating the panoramic video transcoding by using the GPU resource improves the instantaneity compared with the manner of panoramic video transcoding by using pure CPU architecture in the prior art, so that the needs of VR live video are met.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer application technology, in particular to a panoramic video transcoding method, device and equipment. 【Background technique】 [0002] As users have higher and higher requirements for the clarity and fluency of VR (virtual reality) panoramic videos, how to reduce the bit rate while ensuring the resolution of panoramic videos has become an urgent problem to be solved in the field of VR technology. question. [0003] When a user watches a panoramic video, the user can often only see a small part of the content in the spherical panoramic video from the user's perspective. Since the general panoramic video is transcoded, all viewing angles maintain the same resolution and clarity, which leads to high resolution even for viewing angles that cannot be seen by the user, which causes transcoding time code rate of waste. In response to this situation, the prior art proposes a way to map panoramic video t...
