360° video

The Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET) of ITU-T VCEG (Q6/16) and ISO/IEC MPEG (JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11) is studying the potential need to include 360-degree video coding technologies in a future video coding standard. The JVET has established a 360Lib software package that can perform projection format conversion between various projection formats as a standalone conversion tool, or in combination with encoding and decoding using HM or JEM reference software.

A subjective testing method is described for comparing 360 video projection formats using an HEVC codec. Where possible, the method draws from the JVET Call for Evidence and the JVET 360 Video Common Test Conditions.
In the v3 version, the following attachments are provided: detailed instructions for generating “evil viewport” bitstreams, and a reporting template with anchor data for equirectangular projection (ERP).
