Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine at least one salient point of interest in a frame of a content item based at least in part on a saliency prediction model, the saliency prediction model being trained to identify salient points of interest that appear in content items; determine a barrel projection representation for the frame; and apply a view-based projection to the barrel projection representation for the frame, wherein the view-based projection enhances a quality in which a region corresponding to the at least one salient point of interest is presented.
