Research on Panoramic Stereo Live Streaming Based on the Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality (VR) technology has been successfully applied in many fields, such as education, tourism, games, etc. Some researchers hope to combine VR to watch panoramic stereo video and bring a brand new living experience in the field of live broadcasting. However, in practical applications, there are many problems such as panoramic video real-time stitching and high-resolution video compression coding, so it is still difficult to construct a panoramic stereo living video system. In this paper, we design and implement a panoramic stereo video living system. The system based on the eight-eye panoramic annular lens, the 360-Degree binocular video is stitched. Compared with the traditional coding algorithm, H.265 coding algorithm is used to compress the video, which improves the compression rate by more than fifty percent. Then the video stream is pushed to the cloud for forwarding. The receiving end combines VR helmet to watch panoramic stereo video live, bringing viewers a brand new viewing experience.
