A method for playing back a panoramic video in a tile-based transmission manner, comprising: obtaining, by a client, user field of view information and recommended field of view information of a panoramic video; determining, by the client based on the user field of view information and the recommended field of view information, that a field of view range corresponding to a recommended field of view is not within a field of view range corresponding to a user field of view; determining, by the client, a relative location of the user field of view and the recommended field of view in the panoramic video image based on the user field of view information and the recommended field of view information; determining, by the client, based on the relative location, a display region of the image corresponding to the recommended field of view; superimposing, by the client, the image corresponding to the recommended field of view onto the image corresponding to the user field of view based on the display region, wherein the image corresponding to the recommended field of view is obtained by downloading a video fragment of a tile corresponding to the recommended field of view by the client, wherein the client further decodes the video fragment of the tile corresponding to the recommended field of view, performs three-dimensional reconstruction on an image obtained through decoding, and generates, based on the recommended field of view information, the image corresponding to the recommended field of view, wherein the tile is a divided panorama video image of the panoramic video and wherein said tile of the image is independently decoded to generate said video fragment; and displaying, by the client, an image obtained after superimposition. obtaining, by a client, user field of view information and recommended field of view information of a panoramic video; determining, by the client based on the user field of view information and the recommended field of view information, that a field of view range corresponding to a recommended field of view is not within a field of view range corresponding to a user field of view; determining, by the client, a relative location of the user field of view and the recommended field of view in the panoramic video image based on the user field of view information and the recommended field of view information; determining, by the client, based on the relative location, a display region of the image corresponding to the recommended field of view; superimposing, by the client, the image corresponding to the recommended field of view onto the image corresponding to the user field of view based on the display region, wherein the image corresponding to the recommended field of view is obtained by downloading a video fragment of a tile corresponding to the recommended field of view by the client, wherein the client further decodes the video fragment of the tile corresponding to the recommended field of view, performs three-dimensional reconstruction on an image obtained through decoding, and generates, based on the recommended field of view information, the image corresponding to the recommended field of view, wherein the tile is a divided panorama video image of the panoramic video and wherein said tile of the image is independently decoded to generate said video fragment; and displaying, by the client, an image obtained after superimposition.
