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 18628462 titled 'METHOD FOR DECODING IMMERSIVE VIDEO AND METHOD FOR ENCODING IMMERSIVE VIDEO

The method described in the patent application involves encoding immersive videos by determining the type of input image, converting it if necessary, encoding the converted image, and generating metadata for the encoded image.

  • The method determines if an input image is a first type or a second type different from the first type.
  • If the input image is of the second type, it is converted into the first type before encoding.
  • The converted image is then encoded to create an immersive video.
  • Metadata is generated for the encoded image to provide additional information.

Potential Applications: - Virtual reality content creation - Video streaming services - Gaming industry for creating immersive experiences

Problems Solved: - Efficient encoding of immersive videos - Seamless integration of different types of images - Enhanced user experience in virtual environments

Benefits: - Improved quality of immersive videos - Streamlined encoding process - Enhanced user engagement in virtual reality applications

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Immersive Video Encoding Technology for Virtual Reality Applications" This technology can be used in virtual reality content creation studios, video streaming platforms, and gaming companies to enhance the quality of immersive experiences for users.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the method determine the type of input image for encoding?

  - The method analyzes the characteristics of the image to classify it as either the first or second type.

2. What are the advantages of generating metadata for the encoded image?

  - Metadata provides additional information about the video content, enhancing the overall user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of encoding an immersive video according to the present disclosure includes determining whether an input image is a first type, converting the input image into the first type when the input image is a second type different from the first type, encoding a converted image, and generating metadata for the encoded image.
