    Abstract: Methods and apparatus of video encoding and decoding for a spherical image sequence and a cubic image sequence using circular Inter prediction are disclosed. For the spherical image sequence, the search window includes an area outside or crossing a vertical frame boundary of the reference frame for at least one block of the current spherical image to be encoded. Candidate reference blocks within the search window are determined, where if a given candidate reference block is outside or crossing one vertical frame boundary, the reference pixels are accessed circularly from the reference frame in a horizontal direction crossing the vertical frame boundary of the reference frame. For the cubic image sequence, circular edges of the cubic frame are determined. The search window includes an area outside or crossing a circular edge of the reference frame for at least one block of the current cubic frame to be encoded.

    Abstract: According to one method, at a source side or an encoder side, a selected viewport associated with the 360-degree virtual reality images is determined. One or more parameters related to the selected pyramid projection format are then determined. According to the present invention, one or more syntax elements for said one or more parameters are included in coded data of the 360-degree virtual reality images. The coded data of the 360-degree virtual reality images are provided as output data. At a receiver side or a decoder side, one or more syntax elements for one or more parameters are parsed from the coded data of the 360-degree virtual reality images. A selected pyramid projection format associated with the 360-degree virtual reality images is determined based on information including said one or more parameters. The 360-degree virtual reality images are then recovered according to the selected viewport.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus of video encoding or decoding for a video encoding or decoding system applied to multi-face sequences corresponding to a 360-degree virtual reality sequence are disclosed. According the present invention, one or more multi-face sequences representing the 360-degree virtual reality sequence are derived. If Inter prediction is selected for a current block in a current face, one virtual reference frame is derived for each face of said one or more multi-face sequences by assigning one target reference face to a center of said one virtual reference frame and connecting neighboring faces of said one target reference face to said one target reference face at boundaries of said one target reference face. Then, the current block in the current face is encoded or decoded using a current virtual reference frame derived for the current face to derive an Inter predictor for the current block.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus of processing omnidirectional images are disclosed. According to one method, a current set of omnidirectional images converted from each spherical image in a 360-degree panoramic video sequence using a selected projection format is received, where the selected projection format belongs to a projection format group comprising a cubicface format, and the current set of omnidirectional images with the cubicface format consists of six cubic faces. If the selected projection format corresponds to the cubicface format, one or more mapping syntax elements to map the current set of omnidirectional images into a current cubemap image are signaled. The coded data are then provided in a bitstream including said one or more mapping syntax elements for the current set of omnidirectional images.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for transcoding a compressed bitstream are disclosed. The system receives a first compressed bitstream generated by applying first entropy encoding to a set of tokens. The first compressed bitstream is decoded into the set of tokens using first entropy decoding corresponding to the first entropy encoding. The set of tokens is then re-encoded into a second compressed bitstream using second entropy encoding, where the second entropy encoding and the first entropy encoding use different statistics, different initial states, or both. The system may further comprising determining one or more modified or optimal probability models associated with the set of tokens, where the second entropy encoding is based on the modified or optimal probability models.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus of processing 360-degree virtual reality images are disclosed. According to one method, a 2D (two-dimensional) frame is divided into multiple blocks. The multiple blocks are encoded or decoded using quantization parameters by restricting a delta quantization parameter to be within a threshold for any two blocks corresponding to two neighboring blocks on a 3D sphere. According to another embodiment, one or more guard bands are added to one or more edges that are discontinuous in the 2D frame but continuous in the 3D sphere. Fade-out process is applied to said one or more guard bands to generate one or more faded guard bands. At the decoder side, the reconstructed 2D frame is generated from the decoded extended 2D frame by cropping said one or more decoded faded guard bands or by blending said one or more decoded faded guard bands and reconstructed duplicated areas.
