On realization of modified encoding/decoding for high capacity panoramic video

Providing high quality panoramic video over Internet, mobile and broadcasting areas, requires a suitable video codec that satisfies both high-compression efficiency and random access functionality. On the user side, high compression efficiency is necessary to enable video streaming of high-volume panoramic data; the random access functions allow the user to move the viewpoint and direction freely. In this research, we introduce the cell concept for compression efficiency and random access functionality and propose a high-speed algorithm for the encoder and decoder of wide screen panoramic images.
