AHG8: ECP with padding for 360-degree video
Abstract
The equatorial cylindrical projection (ECP), first introduced in JVET-F0026, is proposed with padding for efficient compression of 360-degree video and reduced seam artifacts in the rendered viewports. ECP projects the equatorial region of the sphere using the Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection, and projects the poles of the sphere onto square faces in the video picture to avoid inactive pixels. Without padding, the RA coding gain is 11.3% (e2e WS-PSNR) compared with the equirectangular projection in accordance with the JVET common test conditions for 360-degree video, while with the proposed padding the gain is only slightly reduced to 11.2%.
