    Abstract: An audio synchronization method includes: receiving a first audio signal from a first recording device; receiving a second audio signal from a second recording device; performing a correlation operation upon the first audio signal and the second audio signal to align a first pattern of the first audio signal and the first pattern of the second audio signal; after the first patterns of the first audio signal and the second audio signal are aligned, calculating a difference between a second pattern of the first audio signal and the second pattern of the second audio signal; and obtaining a starting-time difference between the first audio signal and the second audio signal for audio synchronization according to the difference between the second pattern of the first audio signal and the second pattern of the second audio signal.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus of processing cube face images are disclosed. According one method, each set of six cubic faces is converted into one rectangular assembled image by assembling each set of six cubic faces to maximize a number of continuous boundaries and to minimize a number of discontinuous boundaries. Each continuous boundary corresponds to one boundary between two connected faces with continuous contents from one face to another face. Each discontinuous boundary corresponds to one boundary between two connected faces with discontinuous contents from one face to another face. The method may further comprise applying video coding to the video sequence outputting the compressed data of the video sequence. According to another method, a fully-connected cubic-face image representing an unfolded image from the six faces of the cube is generated and the blank areas are filled with padding data to form a rectangular assembled image.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus of video encoding or decoding for a video encoding or decoding system applied to multi-face sequences corresponding to a 360-degree virtual reality sequence are disclosed. According the present invention, one or more multi-face sequences representing the 360-degree virtual reality sequence are derived. If Inter prediction is selected for a current block in a current face, one virtual reference frame is derived for each face of said one or more multi-face sequences by assigning one target reference face to a center of said one virtual reference frame and connecting neighboring faces of said one target reference face to said one target reference face at boundaries of said one target reference face. Then, the current block in the current face is encoded or decoded using a current virtual reference frame derived for the current face to derive an Inter predictor for the current block.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus of processing omnidirectional images are disclosed. According to one method, a current set of omnidirectional images converted from each spherical image in a 360-degree panoramic video sequence using a selected projection format is received, where the selected projection format belongs to a projection format group comprising a cubicface format, and the current set of omnidirectional images with the cubicface format consists of six cubic faces. If the selected projection format corresponds to the cubicface format, one or more mapping syntax elements to map the current set of omnidirectional images into a current cubemap image are signaled. The coded data are then provided in a bitstream including said one or more mapping syntax elements for the current set of omnidirectional images.

    Abstract: A video processing method includes receiving an omnidirectional content corresponding to a sphere, generating a projection-based frame according to at least the omnidirectional content and a segmented sphere projection (SSP) format, and encoding, by a video encoder, the projection-based frame to generate a part of a bitstream. The projection-based frame has a 360-degree content represented by a first circular projection face, a second circular projection face, and at least one rectangular projection face packed in an SSP layout. A north polar region of the sphere is mapped onto the first circular projection face. A south polar region of the sphere is mapped onto the second circular projection face. At least one non-polar ring-shaped segment between the north polar region and the south polar region of the sphere is mapped onto said at least one rectangular projection face.

    Abstract: A hybrid video decoder has a hardware decoding circuit, a software decoding circuit, and a meta-data access system. The hardware decoding circuit deals with a first portion of a video decoding process for at least a portion of a frame, wherein the first portion of the video decoding process includes entropy decoding. The software decoding circuit deals with a second portion of the video decoding process. The meta-data access system manages meta data transferred between the hardware decoding circuit and the software decoding circuit.
