This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18461868 titled 'SPHERE POLE PROJECTIONS FOR EFFICIENT COMPRESSION OF 360-DEGREE VIDEO

==Simplified Explanation==

- Systems and methods for processing 360-degree video data
- Spherical representation of a 360-degree video frame can be segmented into top, bottom, and middle regions
- Middle region can be mapped into one or more rectangular areas of an output video frame
- Top region can be mapped into a first rectangular area using a mapping that converts a square to a circle
- Bottom region can be mapped into a second rectangular area
- Pixels in the circular regions are expanded to fill the rectangular regions

== Potential Applications ==
- Virtual reality content creation
- Live streaming of 360-degree videos
- Video conferencing with immersive experiences

== Problems Solved ==
- Efficient processing of 360-degree video data
- Seamless integration of 360-degree video content into traditional video formats

== Benefits ==
- Improved viewing experience for 360-degree videos
- Simplified editing and production workflows for content creators
- Enhanced immersion for virtual reality applications


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Provided are systems and methods for processing 360-degree video data. In various implementations, a spherical representation of a 360-degree video frame can be segmented into a top region, a bottom region, and a middle region. The middle region can be mapped into one or more rectangular areas of an output video frame. The top region can be mapped into a first rectangular area of the output video frame using a mapping that converts a square to a circle, such that pixels in the circular top region are expanded to fill the first rectangular region. The bottom region can be mapped into a second rectangular area of the output video frame such that pixels in the circular bottom region are expanded to fill the second rectangular region.
