METHOD FOR DECODING IMMERSIVE VIDEO AND METHOD FOR ENCODING IMMERSIVE VIDEO - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18323834 titled 'METHOD FOR DECODING IMMERSIVE VIDEO AND METHOD FOR ENCODING IMMERSIVE VIDEO
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an image encoding method that involves classifying multiple view images into a basic image and an additional image. The method includes pruning at least one of the view images based on the classification result and generating an atlas based on the pruning. The atlas and metadata for the atlas are then encoded. The metadata includes information about spherical harmonic functions on a point in a three-dimensional space.
- Image encoding method for view images
- Classification of view images into basic and additional images
- Pruning of view images based on classification result
- Generation of an atlas based on pruning
- Encoding of the atlas and metadata
- Metadata includes information about spherical harmonic functions in 3D space
Original Abstract Submitted
An image encoding method according to the present disclosure may include classifying a plurality of view images into a basic image and an additional image; performing pruning for at least one of the plurality of view images based on a result of the classification; generating an atlas based on a result of performing the pruning; and encoding the atlas and metadata for the atlas. In this case, the metadata may include spherical harmonic function information on a point in a three-dimensional space.
