In these days, 360 degree videos, which is provided via VR, have high resolution and quality of 8K. These kinds of videos inevitably require streaming technology which guarantees QoS. Therefore, we suggest MPEG DASH HTTP protocol which stably provides streaming services of high quality videos in 8K, which are 360 degree tile-encoded, on low-spec devices such as OTT and IPTV Settop and Tile Segment Cache management structure for servers operating streaming services.

Recent developments in computer graphics technology and image processing technology have increased interest in point cloud technology for inputting real space and object information as three-dimensional data. In particular, point cloud technology can accurately provide spatial information, and has attracted a great deal of interest in the field of autonomous vehicles and AR (Augmented Reality)/VR (Virtual Reality). However, in order to provide users with 3D point cloud contents that require more data than conventional 2D images, various technology developments are required. In order to solve these problems, an international standardization organization, MPEG(Moving Picture Experts Group), is in the process of discussing efficient compression and transmission schemes. In this paper, we provide a region division transfer method of 3D point cloud content through extension of existing MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP)-SRD (Spatial Relationship Description) technology, quality parameters are further defined in the signaling message so that the quality parameters can be selectively determined according to the user's request. We also design a verification platform for ROUTE (Real Time Object Delivery Over Unidirectional Transport)/DASH based heterogeneous network environment and use the results to validate the proposed technology.

In these days, various technologies to provide a service of high quality of 360 VR media contents is being studied and developed. However, rendering high-quality of media images is very difficult with the limited resources of HMD (Head Mount Display). In this paper, we designed and implemented a 360 VR Player for high quality 360 tiled video image render to HMD. Furthermore, we developed multi-resolution-based Foveated Rendering technology. By conducting several experiments, We have confirmed that it improved the performance of video rendering far more than existing tiled video rendering technology.

Recently, the emergence of 3D cameras, 3D scanners and various cameras including Lidar is expected to be applied to applications such as AR, VR, and autonomous mobile vehicles that deal with 3D data. In Particular, the 3D point cloud data consisting of tens to hundreds of thousands of 3D points is rapidly increased in capacity compared with 2D data, Efficient encoding / decoding technology for smooth service within a limited bandwidth, and efficient service provision technology for differentiating the area of interest and the surrounding area are needed. In this paper, we propose a new quality parameter considering characteristics of 3D point cloud instead of quality change based on assumed video codec in MPEG V-PCC used in 3D point cloud compression, 3D Grid division method and representation for selectively transmitting 3D point clouds according to user's area of interest, and propose a new 3D Manifesto. By using the proposed technique, it is possible to generate more bitrate images, and it is confirmed that the efficiency of network, decoder, and renderer can be increased while selectively transmitting as needed.
