Title: Innovations of Cheng-Hsuan Shih in Virtual Reality Technology
Introduction
Cheng-Hsuan Shih is a prominent inventor based in Hsin-Chu, Taiwan. He has made significant contributions to the field of virtual reality technology, holding a total of six patents. His work focuses on enhancing the processing and coding of 360-degree virtual reality images, which is crucial for the development of immersive experiences.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method and apparatus of block partition for VR360 video coding." This invention discloses methods and apparatus for processing 360-degree virtual reality pictures. According to one method, if a leaf coding unit contains one or more face edges, the leaf processing unit is split into sub-processing units along the face edges without the need to signal the partition. In another method, if the quadtree (QT) of binary tree (BT) partition depth for a processing unit has not reached the maximum QT or BT depth, the processing unit is split. If the processing unit contains a horizontal face edge, QT or horizontal BT partition is applied. If the processing unit contains a vertical face edge, QT or vertical BT partition is applied.
Another significant patent is "Method and apparatus for reduction of artifacts at discontinuous boundaries in coded virtual-reality images." This invention also focuses on processing 360-degree virtual reality images. According to one method, the method receives coded data for an extended 2D frame including an encoded 2D frame with one or more encoded guard bands. The encoded 2D frame is projected from a 3D sphere using a target projection, wherein the encoded guard bands are based on a blending of one or more guard bands with an overlapped region when the overlapped region exists. The method then decodes the coded data into a decoded extended 2D frame, including a decoded 2D frame with one or more decoded guard bands, and derives a reconstructed 2D frame from the decoded extended 2D frame.
