The present disclosure relates to an image processing device and an image processing method for instantaneously displaying an image of a user's field of view.

An encoder encodes a celestial sphere image of a cube formed by images of multiple planes generated from omnidirectional images, the encoding being performed plane by plane at a high resolution, to generate a high-resolution encoded stream corresponding to each of the planes. The encoder further encodes, at a low resolution, the celestial sphere image to generate a low-resolution encoded stream. The present disclosure may be applied, for example, to image display systems that generate a celestial sphere image so as to display an image of the user's field of view derived therefrom.

The embodiments relate to a method for writing, in a container file, two or more subpicture tracks; writing, in the container file, a base track, which is intended to be resolved into a video bitstream; indicating, in the base track, a layout of subpictures; writing, in the container file, a sample group description entry indicative of a first subpicture track or a group of subpicture tracks for each subpicture position in the layout of subpictures, wherein the first subpicture track includes the subpicture sequence for the respective subpicture position and wherein any track among the group of subpicture tracks includes a valid subpicture sequence for the respective subpicture position; and indicating in the container file, samples of the base track for which the sample group description entry is intended to be used for reconstructing the video bitstream. The embodiments also relate to a method for parsing, as well as technical equipment for implementing the method for writing and the method for parsing.

Concepts are described, including encoding, processing and decoding of a data stream having a video encoded thereinto, wherein the video comprises a plurality of pictures, wherein the data stream comprises a plurality of pictures in at least two layers, wherein the pictures of at least one layer are split into a predetermined layer-specific number of subpictures, one or more of the pictures or subpictures of one layer corresponds to one picture or subpictures in one or more other layer, and at least one of the subpictures comprises boundaries for boundary extension for motion compensation, and an indication that at least one of the boundaries of corresponding subpictures or corresponding pictures in different layers are aligned with each other.

An image decoding method according to the present document comprises a step of generating residual samples of a current block on the basis of residual information, wherein the residual information comprises a multiple transform selection (MTS) index and information regarding transform coefficients, the residual samples are generated from transform coefficients according to the information regarding the transform coefficients by using a transform kernel set, the transform kernel set is determined by the MTS index from among transform kernel set candidates, at least one of bins of a bin string of the MTS index is derived on the basis of context coding, the context coding is performed based on a value of a context index with respect to the MTS index.

An encoder includes circuitry and memory coupled to the circuitry. In operation, the circuitry: encodes one or more pictures which have common time information and each of which is included in a different layer; adds the one or more pictures into one access unit in a bitstream; and adds, into the bitstream, a first flag indicating that a total number of access units present in the bitstream is one.

Mechanisms for generating compressed images are provided. More particularly, methods, systems, and media for capturing, reconstructing, compressing, and rendering view-dependent immersive light field video with a layered mesh representation are provided.

Systems and methods are described for obfuscating variants of content segments. Variants of content segments can be used to encode an identifying sequence in a transmission of content. The variants of the content segments can each include one or more marked frames and one or more unmarked frames. Variations can be introduced into the unmarked frames for each of the variants of the content segments.

A method of adaptive point cloud attribute coding is performed by at least one processor and includes determining a centroid of k candidate points of a point cloud, k being a predetermined sampling rate of all points of the point cloud, and selecting one of the k candidate points that is closest to the centroid. The method further includes determining a first levels-of-detail (LoD) layer comprising the one of the k candidate points, and a second LoD layer without the one of the k candidate points, and performing coding of attributes of the all points, based on the first LoD layer and the second LoD layer.

Provided is a video decoding method including obtaining split information indicating whether to split a current block; when the split information indicates that the current block is split, splitting the current block into at least two lower blocks; obtaining encoding order information indicating an encoding order of the at least two lower blocks of the current block; determining a decoding order of the at least two lower blocks according to the encoding order information; and decoding the at least two lower blocks according to the decoding order.
