Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes accessing an image file representing a 360-degree image of a scene and determining, from the image file, a stretch factor that identifies to a relative change of adjacent pixels in at least one of (1) an upper row of pixels or (2) a lower row of pixels. The method further includes determining, from the image file, an edge similarity that identifies a change between pixels in a first column and pixels in a last column and determining, based on the stretch factor and on the edge similarity, whether the 360-degree image was encoded using an equirectangular projection and then rendering the 360-degree image based on the equirectangular-projection encoding.
