$360^{\circ}$panoramic image can give people an unprecedented visual experience, and there are many different ways to make a $360^{\circ}$panoramic image. In this paper, we will introduce two easy and effective methods from those many ways. The first one is through 48 photos to make a $360^{\circ}$panoramic image, the second way is through 6 photos to make a $360^{\circ}$panoramic image. We will compare those methods and tell the audience which one suits themselves. Through those easy design methods introduced above, we can see VR works design became easy and popular, normal people can also make $360^{\circ}$panoramic image, and it promotes the industry of VR image contents.

Panoramic Image provides wider field of view than image from acquisition equipment such as a camera and provides realism and immersion to users compared with single image. Cubic panoramic image provides three dimensional access zooming and rotating in top, bottom, left and right directions. But we require commercial softwares to make a panoramic image and can see distorted images in top and bottom direction. This paper presents a method that constructs cubic panoramic virtual reality image using Apple QuickTimeVR's cubic data structure without any commercial software to make realistic image of top and bottom direction in cubic panoramic virtual reality space.

영화관 발전 이유는(보통 영화,3D MIX,4D)관중 시청각 효과가 위해서 발전한다. 이제 까지 최고한 시청각 효과 받을 수 있는 기술을 $VR360^{\circ}$ Degree panoramic video촬영 기술 밖에 없다. 하지만 이 기술을 전통 영화 촬영 기술 보다 완전히 다르다. 이 기술 영화 방면 운용하면 원래 영화적 이론 크게 충격 받다.

One of the problems of panoramic image stitching methods is that its computational cost is so high that the image processing required usually cannot be done in real-time. Real-time performance is important in applications such as video surveillance becausewe must see current scenes. But it takes more than several seconds to calculate transform coefficients between images. Panoramic VR technologies such as Apple QuickTime VR have problem that distorts images of top and bottom. This paper presents a fast stitching method and a methpd reducing distortions of top and bottom in cubic panoramic image.

In this paper, we introduce a technique for 360-degree panoramic video streaming with multiple virtual cameras in real-time. The proposed technique consists of generating 360-degree panoramic video data by ORB feature point detection, texture transformation, panoramic video data compression, and RTSP-based video streaming transmission. Especially, the generating process of 360-degree panoramic video data and texture transformation are accelerated by CUDA for complex processing such as camera calibration, stitching, blending, encoding. Our experiment evaluated the frames per second (fps) of the transmitted 360-degree panoramic video. Experimental results verified that our technique takes at least 30fps at 4K output resolution, which indicates that it can both generates and transmits 360-degree panoramic video data in real time.

최근 들어 VR 관련 기술이 발전하고 대중화가 됨에 따라 VR 하드웨어 기술 이외에도 VR 영상에 대한 개발과 연구에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 VR 영상을 제작하기 위해서는 360 도의 전방위 촬영, 영상의 스티칭 및 프로젝션 그리고 사용자의 시야점획득을 통한 렌더링등과 같은 기술이 필요하다. 그러나 영상들의 스티칭, 프로젝션 등의 여러 단계의 과정을 거치면서 원 영상에 비하여 많은 왜곡이 발생하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 제작과정 중 발생하는 기하학적 왜곡에 대해 분석한다.

Videos for 360-degree virtual reality (VR) systems have a large amount of data because they are made with several different videos from multiple cameras. To store the VR data in limited space or to transmit it through a channel with limited bandwidth, the data need to be compressed at a high ratio. This paper focuses on the compression efficiency of VR videos for good visual quality. Generally, 360-degree VR videos should be projected into the planer format to cope with modern video coding standards. Among various projection schemes, three typical schemes (equirectangular, line-cubic, and cross-cubic) are selected and compared in terms of compression efficiency and quality using various videos.

Virtual reality technology is a new practical technology developed in the 20th century. In recent years, the related industry is rapidly developing due to the continuous development and improvement of virtual reality (VR) technology, and various image contents that are realistic through the use of virtual reality technology provide users with a better visual experience. In addition, it has excellent characteristics in terms of interaction and imagination, so a bright prospect can be expected in the field of video content production. This paper introduced the types of display of VR video, technology, and how users view VR video at the current stage. In addition, the difference in resolution between the past VR equipment and the current equipment was compared and analyzed, and the reason why the resolution affects the VR image was explored. Among the future development of VR video, we will present some development directions and provide convenience to people.

본 논문에서는 3D 파노라믹 가상 환경 생성을 위한 투영기반 메쉬 모델 생성 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 메쉬 모델 생성 기법은 멀티뷰 카메라를 이용해 다수의 시점에서 얻은 실내 환경의 3D 데이터로부터 메쉬 모델을 생성한다. 먼저 미리 보정된 카메라 파라미터를 이용해 입력된 임의의 3D점 데이터를 여러 개의 하위 점군으로 분할한다. 적응적 샘플링을 통해 각 하위 점군으로부터 중복되는 점 데이터를 없애고 새로운 점군을 생성한다. 각각의 하위 점군을 Delaunay삼각화 방법을 통해 메쉬 모델링하고, 인접한 하위 점군의 메쉬들을 통합하여 하나의 메쉬 모델을 생성한다. 제안된 메쉬 모델링 방법은 점군의 분할을 통해 각 부분의 메쉬 모델을 독립적으로 생성하므로 실내 환경과 같은 넓은 영역의 모델링에 알맞다. 또한, 적응적 샘플링을 통해 3D 데이터가 갖는 깊이 정보의 특징을 보존하면서 메쉬 데이터의 크기를 줄인다. 생성된 가상 환경 모델은 가상/증강현실 응용 어플리케이션 등에 적용이 가능하다.

The purpose of this study is to develope an algorithm which generates trip plans based on rating points of travel app users and travel experts to help potential travellers experience their desired destinations in advance. This algorithm uses the above rating points and the gradually created hierarchy to generate the most preferred and efficient trip courses. Users can go through video clips or panoramic VR videos of the actual destinations from their trip plans generated by the algorithm which may add excitement to their actual trips. With our heuristic methods, the more users input their ratings, the better trip plans can be generated. This algorithm has been tested on android OS and proven efficient in generating trip plans. This research introduces a way to experience travel destinations with panoramic VR video and proposes the algorithm which generates trip plans based on users' ratings. It is expected to be useful for travellers' trip planning and to contribute growth in the travel market.
