Embodiment approach

[0135] In some example embodiments, to reproject the relevant portion of the input equirectangular projection to the output equirectangular projection, for each position of the output equirectangular projection, a corresponding position in the input equirectangular projection is identified. Sample values ​​are then assigned to locations in the output equirectangular projection based on sample values ​​at corresponding locations in the input equirectangular projection or interpolation between sample values ​​at adjacent locations in the input equirectangular projection.

[0136] Figure 12The output equirectangular projection (1210) is shown having w O The width of the sampled value and h O The height of the sampled value. The point of the output equirectangular projection (1210) is u O ,v O mark. For illustration, output the point u in the equirectangular projection (1210) O ,v O is the center point in the view direction, but the reprojection operation is performed in t...

Abstract

This disclosure describes innovations in the reconstruction and rendering of panoramic videos. For example, a view-dependent operations controller of a panoramic video playback system receives an indication of a view direction for an application and identifies a segment of a panoramic video picture in an input projection based at least in part on the view direction. The view-dependent operations controller restricts the operations of the color converter, video decoder, and / or stream controller to the identified fragments. In this way, the panoramic video playback system can avoid performing operations to reconstruct segments of the panoramic video picture that will not be viewed. As another example, a mapper of a panoramic video playback system reprojects at least some samples in an input slab projection toward a center position in the view direction, thereby producing an output slab projection that an application can use to generate one or more screen projection.

Description

Background technique [0001] Video is delivered in digital form when it is streamed over the Internet and played back through a web browser or media player. Digital video is also used in the delivery of video over many broadcast services, satellite services, and cable television services. Real-time video conferencing typically uses digital video, and digital video is used with most smartphones, web cameras, and other video capture devices during video capture. Digital video is also used in technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, whether the video is played back in a head-mounted display, mobile device, or other type of device. [0002] Panoramic video is video in which views in multiple directions around a central location are recorded simultaneously. The recorded video may include image content in every direction, or at least in every direction in a 360 degree sphere around the center location, including at least some image content above the center location and a...
