Abstract: The disclosure proposes a method and a system for 360-degree video playback. The method is applicable to a video playback system and includes at least the following steps. A current frame of a 360-degree video having a sequence of frames is received. Candidate objects in the current frame are detected, and a main object is selected from the candidate objects by using a selector recurrent neural network (RNN) model based on information of the candidate objects in the current frame. A viewing angle corresponding to the current frame is computed by using a regressor RNN model based on the main object in the current frame. The current frame is displayed on the screen according to the viewing angle.

Abstract: A data slicer includes an error bit predictor, a DC level compensator, a co-channel detector, and an output device. The data slicer generates four bytes according to four slicing levels respectively. The four slicing levels are a DC level, a level generated by adding a predetermined offset to the DC level, a level generated by subtracting the predetermined offset from the DC level, and a compensated level generated by the DC level compensator. The co-channel detector determines if the compensated level has the co-channel interference. The output device generates an output byte according to indication signals generated by the co-channel detector and the error bit predictor and the parity check of the four bytes.
