Efficient Region-Wise Packing of Stereoscopic ERP Videos Based on Information Loss Minimization by Hossein Pejman, Stephane Coulombe, Carlos Vazquez, Ahmad Vakili

“…To address these challenges, sub-sampled versions of the left and right views are usually used to form the spatial FC format, leading to a loss of visual quality. In this paper, we propose an efficient region-wise packing method for equirectangular projection (ERP) videos with minimum information loss by exploiting the uneven sampling characteristic of ERP. …”
