Abstract:
360-degree video has been gaining its popularity as virtual reality (VR) technology develops in recent years. To compress these videos using standard video encoders, most of them are converted to a 2D image planar format with equirectangular projection (ERP). Compared with other encoders, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) achieves significant improvements in coding efficiency. However, exhaustive computational complexity of HEVC makes it too time-consuming to compress 360-degree videos of high resolution and high frame rate for VR application. In this paper, a fast intra prediction algorithm is proposed according to the characteristics of ERP format video. Compared with original reference software HM 16.15, experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve about 24.5% encoder time saving on average in All-Intra configuration with negligible quality loss.
