Detailed Description
The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description, and it should be noted that any combination of the embodiments or technical features described below can be used to form a new embodiment without conflict.
Detailed description of the preferred embodiment
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for improving the sharpness of an ultra high definition (ultra high definition) 4K resolution VR video, including a spreading step S1 and a restoring step S2.
An expansion step S1 of expanding and processing the spherical VR video into a rectangular VR video; the restoration step S2 restores the rectangular VR video to the spherical VR video.
As shown in fig. 2, the unfolding step S1 may include steps S11 to S14.
And step S11, hot spot spherical surfaces and non-hot spot spherical surfaces on the spherical VR video with the equator resolution of M are set. The purpose of this step is to define a hot spot sphere on the sphere, and for example, when the method is applied to scenes such as a concert, a evening party, and a release meeting, a hemisphere facing a stage in the middle can be used as the hot spot sphere, or a hemisphere facing a playing field in a sports scene can be used as the hot spot sphere.
The equatorial resolution in the embodiment of the present invention refers to the resolution of the spherical diameter of the spherical VR video. The process of expanding the spherical VR video into the rectangular VR video is similar to the process of projecting a 3D globe into a 2D world map, and the equatorial resolution is the resolution of the spherical diameter before projection and is also the resolution of the rectangle after projection in the width direction.
The embodiment of the invention does not limit the equatorial resolution M of the spherical VR video which can be processed, and is suitable for the spherical VR video with M higher than 3840 or lower than 3840, preferably, M is a positive number which can be 4320. This has the advantage that the method of embodiments of the invention can be used to unwrap and restore a spherical VR video regardless of the equatorial resolution M.
The embodiment of the invention does not limit the arrangement of the hot spot spherical surface and the non-hot spot spherical surface on the spherical VR video, the spherical surface with any area of the spherical VR video can be set as the hot spot spherical surface, and the other spherical surfaces are set as the non-hot spot spherical surfaces. For example, the shapes of the hotspot spherical surface and the non-hotspot spherical surface may be both hemispheres, the spherical surfaces 1/3, 1/4 and 1/5 on the spherical VR video may be set as hotspot spherical surfaces, and the rest of the spherical surfaces are set as non-hotspot spherical surfaces, and the spherical surfaces 2/3, 3/4, 2/5, 3/5 and 4/7 on the spherical VR video may be set as hotspot spherical surfaces and the rest of the spherical surfaces are set as non-hotspot spherical surfaces.
Step S12, expanding a spherical VR video with an equator resolution of M into a rectangular VR video with a resolution of M × H, where the rectangular VR video includes two parts, a hot spot region and a non-hot spot region, and the mapping relationship is: the hot spot spherical surface is mapped to a hot spot area of the rectangular VR video, and the non-hot spot spherical surface is mapped to a non-hot spot area of the rectangular VR video; the resolution of the hot spot region is H, and the resolution of the non-hot spot region is (M-H).
The embodiment of the invention does not limit the position distribution of the hot spot area and the non-hot spot area in the rectangular VR video, the hot spot area can be arranged at one end of the rectangular VR video, the non-hot spot area can be arranged at the other end of the rectangular VR video, the hot spot spherical surface is mapped to the hot spot area at one end of the rectangular VR video, and the non-hot spot spherical surface is mapped to the non-hot spot area at the other end of the rectangular VR video.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the hot spot area can be arranged in the middle of the rectangular VR video, and the non-hot spot areas are arranged on two sides of the hot spot area. For example, the hotspot region may be disposed at the very middle in the width direction of the rectangular VR video, i.e., 1/2, or may be disposed at 1/3, 1/4, 1/5 in the width direction of the rectangular VR video.
The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the resolution M × H of the rectangular VR video expanded in the expanding step S12, and rectangular VR videos with different resolutions can be obtained. For example, when M4320 and H2160, a rectangular VR video with a resolution of 4320 × 2160 can be obtained. The advantage of this is that, no matter what the resolution requirement of the rectangular VR video is, the spherical VR video can be processed by the method of the embodiment of the present invention to obtain the required rectangular VR video.
Step S13, processing the resolution of the picture of the non-hot spot region with the resolution of (M-H) H to (N-H) H; n is a positive number;
the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the resolution (N-H) × H of the picture of the non-hot spot region processed in the expanding step S13, so that the rectangular VR video with the resolution N × H can be obtained in the step S14. For example, the resolution of the picture of the non-hot spot area may be 1680 × 2160, where N is 3840.
Step S14, the picture of the hot spot region with the resolution H × H and the picture of the non-hot spot region with the resolution (N-H) × H are placed in the same picture, so as to obtain a rectangular VR video with the resolution N × H. When N is 3840 and H is 2160, the ultra-high definition resolution of the final output standard can be achieved, and at this time, various physical transmission interfaces, terminal codecs, terminal display devices, etc. can be seamlessly compatible. The advantage of this is that, no matter what the resolution requirement of the rectangular VR video is, the spherical VR video can be processed by the method of the embodiment of the present invention to obtain the required rectangular VR video.
When M is 4320, N is 3840, and H is 2160, step S12 expands the spherical VR video with equatorial resolution 4320 into a rectangular VR video with resolution 4320 × 2160, wherein the hot spot region has a resolution of 2160 × 2160, and the non-hot spot region has a resolution of 2160 × 2160; step S13 processes the resolution of the frame of the non-hot spot area with the resolution of 2160 × 2160 to 1680 × 2160; in step S14, the frame of the hot spot area with the resolution of 2160 × 2160 and the frame of the non-hot spot area with the resolution 1680 × 2160 are placed in the same frame, so as to obtain the rectangular VR video with the resolution 3840 × 2160.
When M is greater than N, the embodiment of the present invention can obtain a lower resolution space from a spherical VR video with a higher resolution than a conventional rectangular VR video by only compressing a non-hot spot region, and can fully utilize an ultra-high definition resolution space of the spherical VR video with a higher resolution than the conventional rectangular VR video, for example, a spherical VR video with an equator resolution M >3840 can be supported, and compared with the prior art which can only support the equator resolution of 3840 at most, the spherical effective information is increased. It can be seen that when the equatorial resolution M is 4320, the spherical effective information is increased compared to the spherical VR video with equatorial resolution M3840:
Figure BDA0002104115960000071
when M < N, the embodiment of the invention can obtain a higher resolution space from a spherical VR video with lower resolution than the conventional rectangular VR video only by stretching the non-hot spot area.
When M ≠ 3840, the ultra-high definition resolution of the final output standard can be realized by setting N in the embodiment of the present invention to 3840.
As shown in fig. 3, the restoration step S2 may include steps S21 to S23. The operation principle of the restoring step S2 is to reversely process and restore the spherical VR video with the equatorial resolution M in the order of the above steps S14, S13 and S12, and when M is 4320, N is 3840 and H is 2160, the restoring step S2 may include:
step S21, obtaining, from the rectangular VR video with a resolution of 3840 × 2160, a picture of a hot spot area with a resolution of 2160 × 2160 and a picture of a non-hot spot area with a resolution of 1680 × 2160;
step S22, processing the resolution of the frame of the non-hot spot area with the resolution of 1680 × 2160 to 2160 × 2160, and at this time, the resolution of the rectangular VR video is 4320 × 2160;
step S23, restoring the rectangular VR video with a resolution of 4320 × 2160 to a spherical VR video with an equatorial resolution of 4320, wherein hot spots of the rectangular VR video are mapped to hot spot spheres, and non-hot spots of the rectangular VR video are mapped to non-hot spot spheres.
In step S12, an ERP method may be used to expand a spherical VR video with an equator resolution of M into a rectangular VR video with a resolution of M × H.
In the embodiment of the invention, the projection of the hot spot spherical surface is not subjected to any additional processing, so that the image quality is prevented from being reduced, only slight scaling is carried out on the width of the non-hot spot spherical surface, and the additional distortion and the image quality reduction caused by a full-picture stretching or compressing mode and the performance consumption of image rendering are obviously reduced; in addition, the continuity of the original spherical picture is not damaged, and the method is very suitable for use scenes such as preview, guide switching, large-screen display and the like.
