    Abstract: Methods and apparatus of compression for non-stitched pictures captured by multiple cameras of a panoramic video capture device are disclosed. According to one embodiment, the system uses a RIBC (Remapped Intra Block Copy) mode, where the block vector (BV) or BV predictor is remapped using calibration data to reduce the search range. The mapped BV or BVP is also more efficient for coding. A color scaling process can be used with the RIBC mode to compensate the color/brightness discrepancy between images from different cameras. A projection-based Inter prediction method is also disclosed. The projection-based Inter prediction method takes into account different perspectives between two images captured from different cameras. Transform matrix is applied to a block candidate to project the block candidate to a position of a target block. The projected block candidate is used as a predictor for the target block.
