Abstract
An encoding method and a decoding method. The encoding method includes generating curved image by creating projection of visual scene onto inner surface of imaginary 3D geometric shape that is curved in at least one dimension; dividing curved image into input portion and plurality of input rings; encoding input portion and input rings into first planar image and second planar image, respectively, such that input portion is stored into first planar image, and input rings are packed into corresponding rows of second planar image; and communicating, to display apparatus, first and second planar images and information indicative of sizes of input portion and input rings.
