Abstract: An image processing apparatus is disclosed. The image processing apparatus includes a storage unit; a transceiver; and a processor for controlling the storage unit to store an input frame including a plurality of image areas having preset arrangement attributes and metadata including the preset arrangement attributes, control the transceiver to receive viewing angle information, and control the transceiver to transmit the metadata and image data of at least one image region corresponding to the viewing angle information among the plurality of image regions by using at least one of the plurality of transmission channels matched with the plurality of image regions.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus is disclosed. The image processing apparatus comprises: a receiver configured to receive an input frame including a plurality of image regions, corresponding to a plurality of faces of a three-dimensional polyhedron, and metadata; and a processor configured to render an output frame including at least one a part of the input frame, on the basis of padding information included in the metadata. Here, the processor may be configured to identify, on the basis of the padding information, a padding region included in at least one of the plurality of image regions, and render, on the basis of the determined padding region, a boundary between at least one face of the plurality of faces and another face of the plurality of faces adjoining the at least one face of the polyhedron.
