Latest Patents
Hou-Ning Hu holds a patent for a "Method and system for 360-degree video playback." This patent outlines a method applicable to a video playback system, which includes several key steps. The process begins with receiving a current frame of a 360-degree video that consists of a sequence of frames. Candidate objects within the current frame are detected, and a main object is selected from these candidates using a selector recurrent neural network (RNN) model. This selection is based on the information of the candidate objects present in the current frame. Subsequently, a viewing angle corresponding to the current frame is computed using a regressor RNN model based on the main object. Finally, the current frame is displayed on the screen according to the calculated viewing angle. This innovative method has the potential to revolutionize how users interact with 360-degree video content.
