Abstract-Delivering high resolution, high bitrate panorama video to a large number of users introduces huge scaling challenges. To reduce the resource requirement, researchers have earlier proposed tiling in order to deliver different qualities in different spatial parts of the video. In our work, providing an interactive moving virtual camera to each user, tiling may be used to reduce the quality depending on the position of the virtual view. This raises new challenges compared to existing tiling approaches as the need for high quality tiles dynamically change. In this paper, we describe a tiling approach of panorama video for interactive virtual cameras where we provide initial results showing the introduced overheads and the potential reduction in bandwidth requirement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
