360 영상을 이용한 실감형 미디어에 대한 관심이 날로 높아지고 있지만 높은 대역폭 요구사항으로 인해 원활히 보급되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 360 영상을 타일 분할 기법을 적용한 뒤 각 영역의 중요도에 따라 독립적으로 품질을 조절하여 서비스하는 타일 기반 방법이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 그러나 사용자 시점에서 타일 경계에 있는 영상 지점을 바라볼 경우 다양한 품질의 영역이 부분적으로 존재하여 사용자 경험 평가가 어려운 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 360 영상을 비균등 품질의 타일들로 구성한 후 시선 위치 데이터를 통해 사용자 시점의 영상을 렌더링하는 과정에 대해 설명한다. 또한 다양한 품질의 영역으로 존재할 수 있는 사용자 시점의 영상의 두드러지는 영역에 대해 가중치를 적용하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법을 통하여 사용자 경험을 크게 해치지 않으면서 동시에 대역폭을 낮출 수 있는 360 영상 타일의 최적 구성을 찾기 위한 방향을 제시한다.

This paper develops a 360 degree video system using multiple off-the-shelf webcams and a set of embedded boards. Existing 360 degree cameras have shortcomings that they do not support real-time video generation since recorded videos should be copied to computers or smartphones which then provide stitching. Another shortcoming is that wide FoV(Field of View) cameras are not able to provide sufficiently high resolution. Moreover, resulting images are visually distorted bending straight lines. By employing an array of 65 degree FoV webcams, we were able to generate videos on the spot and achieve over 6K resolution with much less distortion. We describe the configuration and algorithms of the proposed system. The performance evaluation results of our early stage prototype system are presented.

최근 차세대 미디어 중 하나로 가상의 공간내에서 현실적인 경험과 환경을 사용자에게 제공해 줄 수 있는 몰입형 미디어가 각광받고 있다. 이러한 가상현실 세계를 제공할 수 있는 VR미디어의 등장은 몰입형 미디어가 점차적으로 추구하는 실감서비스의 발전 형태를 단적으로 보여주고 있으며 사용자의 움직임에 따라 보다 자연스러운 현실감 및 몰입감을 지원하는 노력이 지속적으로 연구되고 있다. 이러한 추세를 반영하듯, MPEG은 최대 6DoF 사용자 움직임을 지원함과 동시에 고해상도의 VR 해상도를 제공하는 몰입형 미디어 요소기술 개발을 위하여 MPEG-I(Immersive) 표준화를 진행 중에 있다. 본 논문은 종래 3DoF 움직임(회전운동)을 지원함과 동시에 병진운동에 따라 360VR영상 내 가상시점을 매핑함으로써 보다 자연스러운 몰입감을 제공할 수 있는 6DoF지원 360VR 테스트 플랫폼을 제안한다.

In this paper, we proposed a technique in which subtitles are followed according to changes in the user's viewpoint in 360 VR. Create a Sphere object in Unity's Scene and insert a 360-degree image on the surface of the Sphere object. At this time, the ReverseNormals script is used to convert the viewpoint to the inside. The SightOrbitproved script is used to modify the camera view. Use this script to set the environment in which subtitles can move depending on the viewpoint. Next, add the 3D text (subtitle) that the user wants to the lower layer of the main camera and build a 360 VR object. The 3D text subtitles implemented through this study were compared according to the change of the user's viewpoint. As a result, as the viewpoint changes, normal subtitles flow out of line of sight according to the user's point of view, but 3D Text subtitles move according to the user's point of view, and it can be seen that the user can always view the subtitles.

VR animation allows you to see 360-degree screen production that cannot be seen in existing animation production while being located in the space within the animation. <Goodbye Mr Octopus>, a VR animation produced in 2020, was selected at the 77th Venice Film Festival as an immersive short film. This is the story of an adolescent girl, Stella, who is celebrating her 16th birthday, and her conflict with her strict father is resolved through a letter from her mother. It is a narrative composed of a total of 11 scenes, and in each scene, new directing elements of VR video grammar, such as gaze induction, time flow, and space conversion directing, were analyzed. Gaze-inducing directing minimized the inconvenience of 360-degree gaze, and time and space conversion directing was analyzed as an effect of increasing the audience's immersion according to narrative events.

단일 영상의 시야각 한계를 극복하기 위해 다중 영상으로부터 하나의 파노라마 영상으로 만들 수 있다. 파노라마 영상은 좌우 360도까지의 시야각을 확보할 수 있어서 복잡한 실제 환경을 가상 환경에서의 배경으로 사용하고자 할 경우에 유용하다. 본 논문에서는 가상 환경에서의 배경으로 사용할 수 있는 파노라마 영상 생성 기법을 제안한다. 다중 영상들을 촬영하고 이를 사용하여 하나의 구형 파노라마 영상을 생성한다. 상하 시야각을 180도까지 확보하기 위한 제작 기법을 제시한다. 또한 생성된 구형 파노라마 영상으로부터 3차원 렌더링에 적합한 텍스쳐로의 변환과정을 제시한다 실제 환경을 가상화할 시에 파노라마 배경을 사용하면 조밀한 배경을3차원적으로 모델링하지 않고도 배경을 3차원적으로 표현할 수 있으므로 제안된 기법은 가상현실 응용에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

The 360 VR video has a format of a stereoscopic shape such as an isometric shape or a cubic shape or a cubic shape. Although these formats have different characteristics, they have in common that the resolution is higher than that of a normal 2D video. Therefore, it takes much longer time to perform coding/decoding on 360 VR video than 2D Video, so parallel processing techniques are essential when it comes to coding 360 VR video. HEVC, the state of art 2D video codec, uses Wavefront Parallel Processing (WPP) technology as a standard for parallelization. This technique is optimized for 2D videos and does not show optimal performance when used in 3D videos. Therefore, a suitable method for WPP is required for 3D video. In this paper, we propose WPP coding/decoding method which improves WPP performance on cube map format 3D video. The experiment was applied to the HEVC reference software HM 12.0. The experimental results show that there is no significant loss of PSNR compared with the existing WPP, and the coding complexity of 15% to 20% is further reduced. The proposed method is expected to be included in the future 3D VR video codecs.

Recently, with the widespread adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in the construction industry, various object detection algorithms have been used to verify errors between 3D models and actual construction elements. Since the characteristics of objects vary depending on the type of construction facility, such as buildings, bridges, and tunnels, appropriate methods for object detection technology need to be employed. Additionally, for object detection, initial object images are required, and to obtain these, various methods, such as drones and smartphones, can be used for image acquisition. The study uses a 360° camera optimized for internal tunnel imaging to capture initial images of the tunnel structures of railway and road facilities. Various object detection methodologies including the YOLO, SSD, and R-CNN algorithms are applied to detect actual objects from the captured images. And the Faster R-CNN algorithm had a higher recognition rate and mAP value than the SSD and YOLO v5 algorithms, and the difference between the minimum and maximum values of the recognition rates was small, showing equal detection ability. Considering the increasing adoption of BIM in current railway and road construction projects, this research highlights the potential utilization of 360° cameras and object detection methodologies for tunnel facility sections, aiming to expand their application in maintenance.
