Abstract:
Disclosed is a panoramic image mapping method and a corresponding reversely mapping method. Particularly, the mapping process includes mapping a panoramic image or a spherical surface corresponding to Video A: first, dividing the spherical surface into three areas based on the latitudes of the spherical surface, denoted as Area I, Area II, and Area III, respectively; mapping the three areas to a square plane I′, a rectangular plane II′, and a square plane III′, respectively; then, splicing the planes I′, II′ and III′ into a plane, wherein the resulting plane is the two-dimensional image or video B. Compared with the equirectangular mapping method, the method according to the present disclosure may effectively ameliorate oversampling in high-latitude areas and effectively lower the bit rate needed by coding and the complexity of decoding. The present disclosure relates to the field of virtual reality, which may be applied to panoramic images and videos.
