Title: Efficient graphical processing in 360-degree spherical space
Inventor: CAMPBELL MORGAN
IPC: G06T19/20
Filed: 2020-09-18
Abstract: Applying blur (e.g. bloom) effects to 360° spherical space image data (e.g. single video frame) by identifying two great circles 106, 112 which intersect orthogonally at a pixel (P2, at θ0,φ0) in a spherical view 100 to which the blur effect is to be applied. The great circles are mapped to a 2D representation of the image data and used as orthogonal axes to define a blur area. Points (P1, P2,…Pn in fig. 10, at θi,φi) along each great circle (e.g. spaced evenly) form 1D sampling arrays which are swept across the 2D image data in two orthogonal directions. Alternatively, a blur effect is applied to a weighted combination of initial and shifted 2D representation of the 360° spherical image data spanning azimuthal angles of -π ≤ φ < π and where spherical image data between -π ≤ φ < 0 represents the same image data as presented at π ≤ φ < 2π. A user of a VR or AR system may therefore view graphical processing effects on the inner surface of a virtual sphere which are geometrically accurate and convincing, without distortion caused by using a 2D kernel to apply the effect.
