Abstract
A communication technique for merging, with an IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system is provided. The communication technique can be applied to an intelligent service (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, and security and safety-related services, and the like) on the basis of a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. A method for processing a 360-degree image is provided. The method includes determining a three-dimensional (3D) model for mapping a 360-degree image; determining a partition size for the 360-degree image; determining a rotational angle for each of the x, y, and z axes of the 360-degree image; determining an interpolation method to be applied when mapping the 360-degree image to a two-dimensional (2D) image; and converting the 360-degree image into the 2D image.
