Abstract
In this paper, we propose an efficient stabilization algorithm for 360 VR sequence, where the geometric information and the relationship between various projection formats have been utilized. The proposed scheme consists of '1st stitching', 'extraction of wide angle picture from VR data', 'stabilization', and '2nd stitching'. The simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional algorithms in the viewpoint of image quality for end-user.
