    Abstract: A method includes obtaining, at one or more computing devices, an input image; determining a first value of a quality metric for the input image; generating a first chroma subsampled representation of the input image; and generating a reconstructed image based on the chroma subsampled representation. The method also includes determining a second value of the quality metric for the reconstructed image; determining an error value based on the first value of the quality metric and the second value of the quality metric; and generating a second chroma subsampled representation of the input image based in part on the error value.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for capturing spherical content. The systems and methods can include determining a region within a plurality of images captured with a plurality of cameras in which to transform two-dimensional data into three-dimensional data, calculating a depth value for a portion of pixels in the region, generating a spherical image, the spherical image including image data for the portion of pixels in the region, constructing, using the image data, a three-dimensional surface in three-dimensional space of a computer graphics object generated by an image processing system, generating, using the image data, a texture mapping to a surface of the computer graphics object, and transmitting the spherical image and the texture mapping for display in a head-mounted display device.

    Abstract: A method for processing an image having a first bit depth includes performing two or more iterations of a bit depth enhancement operation that increases the bit depth of the image to a second bit depth that is higher than the first bit depth. The bit depth enhancement operation includes dividing the image into a plurality of areas, performing an edge detection operation to identify one or more areas from the plurality of areas that do not contain edge features, and applying a blur to the one or more areas from the plurality of areas that do not contain edge features. In a first iteration of the of the bit depth enhancement operation, the plurality of areas includes a first number of areas, and the number of areas included in the plurality of areas decreases with each subsequent iteration of the bit depth enhancement operation.
