Mapping of spherical image data into rectangular faces for transport and decoding across networks

A system captures a first hemispherical image and a second hemispherical image, each hemispherical image including an overlap portion, the overlap portion capturing a same field of view, the two hemispherical images collectively comprising a spherical FOV and separated along a longitudinal plane.

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system captures a first hemispherical image and a second hemispherical image, each hemispherical image including an overlap portion, the overlap portion capturing a same field of view, the two hemispherical images collectively comprising a spherical FOV and separated along a longitudinal plane. The system maps a modified first hemispherical image to a first portion of the 2D projection of a cubic image, the modified first hemispherical image including a non-overlap portion of the first hemispherical image, and maps a modified second hemispherical image to a second portion of the 2D projection of the cubic image, the modified second hemispherical image also including a non-overlap portion. The system maps the overlap portions of the first hemispherical image and the second hemispherical image to the 2D projection of the cubic image, and encodes the 2D projection of the cubic image to generate an encoded image representative of the spherical FOV.
