Abstract
The disclosure proposes a method and a system for 360-degree video playback. The method is applicable to a video playback system and includes at least the following steps. A current frame of a 360-degree video having a sequence of frames is received. Candidate objects in the current frame are detected, and a main object is selected from the candidate objects by using a selector recurrent neural network (RNN) model based on information of the candidate objects in the current frame. A viewing angle corresponding to the current frame is computed by using a regressor RNN model based on the main object in the current frame. The current frame is displayed on the screen according to the viewing angle.
