摘要:

360-近年来,随着虚拟现实(VR)和增强现实(AR)技术的发展和进步,学位视频越来越受欢迎。在此类应用中,用户仅观看以某个方向为中心的视场(FoV)内的视频场景。在较长时间范围内预测未来的FoV(提前数秒)可以帮助节省点播视频流的带宽资源,同时最大限度地减少带宽变化较大的网络中的视频冻结。在这项工作中,我们把FoV预测作为一个序列学习问题,并提出预测目标用户的未来FoV不仅基于用户自己过去的FoV中心轨迹,而且其他用户的未来FoV位置。我们提出了基于两种不同FoV表示的多个预测模型:一种使用FoV中心轨迹,另一种使用代表FoV中心分布的等矩形热图。两个公共数据集的广泛评估表明,所提出的模型可以显着优于基准模型,其他用户的FoV是非常有助于改善长期预测。

英文摘要:

360-degree videos have gained increasing popularity in recent years with the developments and advances in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies. In such applications, a user only watches a video scene within a field of view (FoV) centered in a certain direction. Predicting the future FoV in a long time horizon (more than seconds ahead) can help save bandwidth resources in on-demand video streaming while minimizing video freezing in networks with significant bandwidth variations. In this work, we treat the FoV prediction as a sequence learning problem, and propose to predict the target user's future FoV not only based on the user's own past FoV center trajectory but also other users' future FoV locations. We propose multiple prediction models based on two different FoV representations: one using FoV center trajectories and another using equirectangular heatmaps that represent the FoV center distributions. Extensive evaluations with two public datasets demonstrate that the proposed models can significantly outperform benchmark models, and other users' FoVs are very helpful for improving long-term predictions.
