  • Patent number: 11153615
    Abstract: A method of streaming panoramic video is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a panoramic video stream formed by a sequence of stitched panoramic frames, each stitched panoramic frame representative of a panoramic view defined by horizontal and vertical dimensions in relation to a central viewing point; splitting the stitched panoramic frames into pieces to create split frames and split frame streams; encoding the split frames for each split frame stream at multiple bitrates to form multiple resolution qualities for each split frame stream; and combining the split frame streams to form a video bunch frame stream. An apparatus for streaming equirectangular video is also provided. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions is also provided. When executed by a computer or processor, the program instructions cause the apparatus to perform the method.

  • Patent number: 7315655
    Abstract: A data processing system includes a subband decomposition of a source signal by encoding of the significant pyramid-type subband representation. During the encoding process, M-array is used for initialization of set of arrays Si (arrays of solution bits), which define the order of creating output data streams. Output data streams contain an encoded significance map and values of (significant) non-zero subband decomposition coefficients adapted for successive quantization and entropy encoding.
