The invention relates to an image processing apparatus for compressing or decompressing a segment of an image. The segment includes a plurality of pixels, each pixel includes a pixel value and a pixel position defined by a first coordinate system. The pixel values of the plurality of pixels form a pixel value vector. The apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to compress and/or decompress the segment. Compressing the segment includes computing a plurality of expansion coefficients by expanding the pixel value vector into a plurality of basis vectors that are discrete approximations of solutions of a boundary value problem of the Helmholtz equation on the segment of the image in a second coordinate system rotated relative to the first coordinate system. Decompressing the segment includes computing the pixel value vector by forming a linear combination of the basis vectors using the plurality of expansion coefficients.

Methods and Systems disclosed to counteract spatial distortions introduced by imaging processes of multi-directional video frames, where objects may be projected to spherical or equirectangular representations. Techniques provided to invert the spatial distortions in video frames used as reference picture data in predictive coding, by spatially transforming the image content of the reference picture data before this image content is being used for the prediction of input video data in prediction-based coders and decoders.

Systems and methods described herein provide a new mechanism of video exportation which ensures that the process is done faster and that a single video can be exported to two or more destination at the same time. This document explains the steps involved in the creation of the video, processes involved in encoding, rendering, transmission/exportation, and playing the video. Figures are used in explaining or illustrating the flow of processes and showing the different devices used in accomplishing various activities in the exporting processes. The application will receive commands to perform the exporting from the destination. Overall, the application will be able to facilitate faster exportation of a video, almost twice the basic speed of the known video exportation systems and to multiple destinations unlike in exportation by the basic applications in use today.

Disclosed is a method and a device for coding a sequence including first and second digital holograms representing respective scenes, the digital holograms being represented by a set of wavelets each defined by a multiplet of coordinates in multidimensional space. The first and second holograms are represented by first and second coefficients respectively associated with wavelets. The coding method includes the following steps: for each second coefficient, determining a remainder by a difference between the second coefficient concerned, associated with a first wavelet defined by a given multiplet, and the first coefficient) associated with a second wavelet defined by a multiplet having as its image the multiplet by a transform in the multidimenisonal space; coding the determined remainders. The transform is determined by analysis of variation between the first scene represented by the first digital hologram and the second scene represented by the second digital hologram.

Video data bitstreams may contain bitstream conformance parameters, such as hypothetical reference decoder (HRD) parameters, which may be used to allow a decoder to test the conformance of a received bitstream. In multi-layer codecs transmitted using partitions, the video data may be associated with one or more layer sets. Each layer set may be associated with one or more output layer sets. Each output layer set may be further associated with one or more partitioning schemes. Conformance parameters are mapped to partitions of a partitioning scheme, based upon the output layer set that the partitioning scheme is associated with. This allows for a partition to be associated with different conformance parameters, depending upon the output layer set that is being used.
