Methods and equipment for encoding VR360 video sequences.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for encoding a VR360 video sequence, in which wrapper motion compensation is incorporated as an encoding tool. By this method, the bit stream corresponding to the encoded data of the VR360 video sequence is generated at the encoder or received at the decoder, wherein the bit stream contains one or more PPS syntaxes related to the wrapper motion information in the PPS (Picture Parameter Set). The VR360 video sequence is encoded at the encoder or decoded at the decoder based on the wrapper motion compensation information.
