JPEG backward compatible coding of omnidirectional images

چکیده
Omnidirectional image and video, also known as 360 image and 360 video, are gaining in popularity with the recent growth in availability of cameras and displays that can cope with such type of content. As omnidirectional visual content represents a larger set of information about the scene, it typically requires a much larger volume of information. Efficient compression of such content is therefore important. In this paper, we review the state of the art in compression of omnidirectional visual content, and propose a novel approach to encode omnidirectional images in such a way that they are still viewable on legacy JPEG decoders.

A Backward Compatible JPEG Image Coding for High Dynamic Range Image
Recently, the standardization of backward compatible JPEG image coding for high dynamic range image has been undertaken to establish an international standard called JPEG XT. Currently, three profiles called Profiles A, B, and C have been proposed for JPEG XT. Whereas all these profiles perform their image coding in the spatial domain, this paper proposes a new coding approach by manipulating D...
متن کاملContext-dependent JPEG backward- compatible high-dynamic range image compression
High-dynamic range (HDR) imaging is expected, together with ultrahigh definition and high-frame rate video, to become a technology that may change photo, TV, and film industries. Many cameras and displays capable of capturing and rendering both HDR images and video are already available in the market. The popularity and full-public adoption of HDR content is, however, hindered by the lack of st...
متن کاملThe JPEG XT Suite of Standards: Status and Future Plans
The JPEG standard has known an enormous market adoption. Daily, billions of pictures are created, stored and exchanged in this format. The JPEG committee acknowledges this success and spends continued efforts in maintaining and expanding the standard specifications. JPEG XT is a standardization effort targeting the extension of the JPEG features by enabling support for high dynamic range imagin...
متن کاملTowards an Animated JPEG
Recently, short animated image sequences have become very popular in social networks. Most animated images are represented in GIF format. In this paper we propose an animated JPEG format, called aJPEG, which allows the standard JPEG format to be extended in a backward compatible way in order to cope with animated images. After presenting the proposed format, we illustrate it using two prototype...
متن کاملJPEG Compatible Coding of High Dynamic Range Imagery using Tone Mapping Operators
In this paper, we introduce a new method for compressing high dynamic range (HDR) imageries. Our method exploits the fact that tone mapping is a necessary operation for displaying HDR images on low dynamic range (LDR) reproduction media and seamlessly integrates tone mapping with a well-established image compression standard to produce a HDR image compression technique that is backward compatib...
