A method for processing a 360-degree image includes determining a processing order of each of a plurality of segments constituting a 360-degree image, based on positions of the segments and parameters of a camera by which the 360-degree image is captured, obtaining distortion correction information according to distortion in the 360-degree image predicted based on parameters of an optical device via which at least a partial region of the 360-degree image is projected, and processing data of the at least a partial region of the 360-degree image according to the determined processing order and the obtained distortion correction information.
