Patent ID: 10805614

Abstract:
A method for processing spherical video data is described comprising: receiving region of interest (ROI) information associated with a ROI in a spherical representation of video data, the ROI information including a spherical ROI coordinate associated with a position of the ROI; receiving a manifest file comprising one or more tile stream identifiers for identifying one or more tile streams, each tile stream comprising spherical video data of a tile on the spherical surface, each tile defining a subpart on the spherical surface, the manifest file further comprising spatial description information for signaling the client apparatus information on the position of the tiles on the spherical surface; receiving projection information for signaling the client apparatus about the type of projection that is used for projection of the spherical video data onto a planar surface; and, receiving and/or generating boundary information for defining the boundary of the ROI on the basis of the spherical ROI coordinate, and, using the ROI area for selecting one or more tile streams on the basis of the spatial description information and the projection information, wherein each of the selected tile streams defines a tile on the sphere that overlaps with the ROI area.
