Title:

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING 360-DEGREE IMAGE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/138801

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

Disclosed are: a communication technique for merging, with an IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system; and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to an intelligent service (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, and security and safety-related services, and the like) on the basis of a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. The present invention relates to a method for processing a 360-degree image, comprising: determining a three-dimensional (3D) model for mapping a 360-degree image; determining a partition size for the 360-degree image; determining a rotational angle for each of the x, y, and z axes of the 360-degree image; determining an interpolation method to be applied when mapping the 360-degree image to a two-dimensional (2D) image; and converting the 360-degree image to the 2D image, on the basis of the determined 3D model, the partition size, the rotational angle, and the interpolation method.
