Unlike conventional videos, 360{\deg} videos give freedom to users to turn their heads, watch and interact with the content owing to its immersive spherical environment. Although these movements are arbitrary, similarities can be observed…
360-degree video has become increasingly popular in content consumption. However, finding the viewing direction for important content within each frame poses a significant challenge. Existing approaches rely on either viewer input or…
The growing popularity of virtual and augmented reality communications and 360{\deg} video streaming is moving video communication systems into much more dynamic and resource-limited operating settings. The enormous data volume of 360{\deg}…
360{\deg} images and videos have become an economic and popular way to provide VR experiences using real-world content. However, the manipulation of the stereo panoramic content remains less explored. In this paper, we focus on the…
Omnidirectional (or 360-degree) images and videos are emergent signals in many areas such as robotics and virtual/augmented reality. In particular, for virtual reality, they allow an immersive experience in which the user is provided with a…
360$^{\circ}$ video requires human viewers to actively control "where" to look while watching the video. Although it provides a more immersive experience of the visual content, it also introduces additional burden for viewers; awkward…
The delivery and display of 360-degree videos on Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) presents many technical challenges. 360-degree videos are ultra high resolution spherical videos, which contain an omnidirectional view of the scene. However only…
360{\deg} videos have emerged as a promising medium to represent our dynamic visual world. Compared to the "tunnel vision" of standard cameras, their borderless field of view offers a more complete perspective of our surroundings. While…
360-degree streaming videos can provide a rich immersive experiences to the users. However, it requires an extremely high bandwidth network. One of the common solutions for saving bandwidth consumption is to stream only a portion of video…
Nowadays, 360{\deg} video/image has been increasingly popular and drawn great attention. The spherical viewing range of 360{\deg} video/image accounts for huge data, which pose the challenges to 360{\deg} video/image processing in solving…
Omnidirectional Videos (or 360{\deg} videos) are widely used in Virtual Reality (VR) to facilitate immersive and interactive viewing experiences. However, the limited spatial resolution in 360{\deg} videos does not allow for each degree of…
360{\deg} videos in recent years have experienced booming development. Compared to traditional videos, 360{\deg} videos are featured with uncertain user behaviors, bringing opportunities as well as challenges. Datasets are necessary for…
Virtual reality has been gaining popularity in recent years caused by the proliferation of affordable consumer-grade devices such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Samsung VR. Amongst the various VR applications, 360{\deg} video streaming is…
Within the expansive domain of virtual reality (VR), 360{\deg} VR videos immerse viewers in a spherical environment, allowing them to explore and interact with the virtual world from all angles. While this video representation offers…
Standard video encoders developed for conventional narrow field-of-view video are widely applied to 360{\deg} video as well, with reasonable results. However, while this approach commits arbitrarily to a projection of the spherical frames,…
Omnidirectional (360-degree) video is rapidly gaining popularity due to advancements in immersive technologies like virtual reality (VR) and extended reality (XR). However, real-time streaming of such videos, especially in live mobile…
This demo introduces Focus360, a system designed to enhance user engagement in 360{\deg} VR videos by guiding attention to key elements within the scene. Using natural language descriptions, the system identifies important elements and…
We propose a new method for the visual quality assessment of 360-degree (omnidirectional) videos. The proposed method is based on computing multiple spatio-temporal objective quality features on viewports extracted from 360-degree videos. A…
To watch 360{\deg} videos on normal 2D displays, we need to project the selected part of the 360{\deg} image onto the 2D display plane. In this paper, we propose a fully-automated framework for generating content-aware 2D normal-view…
360$^o$ video is an essential component of VR/AR/MR systems that provides immersive experience to the users. However, 360$^o$ video is associated with high bandwidth requirements. The required bandwidth can be reduced by exploiting the fact…
