Inventor: Sujeet Shyamsundar Mate
IPC: H04N13/111
Filed: 2017-05-23
Abstract: A method, associated apparatus and computer-readable medium, are described for the optimization of the display of visual virtual reality (VR) content (such as, for instance a VR headset). The method comprises receiving a first portion 21 of an image (or video) at a first display quality and a second portion 22 of the picture at a second, lower, quality. A third portion 24 of the image (within the field of view (FOV) of the observer) is generated by a neural network, trained on the first or second portions, this third region being part of the second region. The quality of the third region may be different from that of the first and second sections, but higher than the one of the second portion. A change in the viewing direction of a user may be predicted, and the generation of the third region may be based on this estimation. Indicators of quality might be the image resolution, bit depth and/or rate or the frame rate. The neural network might be a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN).
