Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods may determine, on a per camera basis, an interest level with respect to panoramic video content, identify a subset of cameras in a plurality of cameras for which the interest level is below a threshold, and reduce power consumption in the subset of cameras. Additionally, technology may determine a projection format associated with panoramic video content, identify one or more discontinuous boundaries in the projection format, and modify an encoding scheme associated with the panoramic video content based on the discontinuous boundaries. Moreover, an encoded frame may be assigned to a temporal scalability layer that has a higher priority than a layer to which an asynchronous space warp frame is assigned. Additionally, technology may reduce the encoding complexity of a boundary between an active region and an inactive region in fisheye content.
