Detailed Description

A spherical video file contains surfaces that need to be mapped onto a sphere.

Depending on how the frame was converted, a different distortion transformation or surface recomposition function needs to be applied before the video should be mapped and displayed.

Enumeration Type Documentation

AVSphericalProjection

enum AVSphericalProjection

Projection of the video surface(s) on a sphere.

Enumerator
AV_SPHERICAL_EQUIRECTANGULAR	Video represents a sphere mapped on a flat surface using equirectangular projection.
AV_SPHERICAL_CUBEMAP	Video frame is split into 6 faces of a cube, and arranged on a 3x2 layout. Faces are oriented upwards for the front, left, right, and back faces. The up face is oriented so the top of the face is forwards and the down face is oriented so the top of the face is to the back.
AV_SPHERICAL_EQUIRECTANGULAR_TILE	Video represents a portion of a sphere mapped on a flat surface using equirectangular projection. The bounding fields indicate the position of the current video in a larger surface.

Function Documentation

av_spherical_alloc()

AVSphericalMapping * av_spherical_alloc

(

size_t *

size

)

Allocate a AVSphericalVideo structure and initialize its fields to default values.

Returns

the newly allocated struct or NULL on failure

av_spherical_tile_bounds()

void av_spherical_tile_bounds	(	const AVSphericalMapping *	map,
		size_t	width,
		size_t	height,
		size_t *	left,
		size_t *	top,
		size_t *	right,
		size_t *	bottom
	)

Convert the bounding fields from an AVSphericalVideo from 0.32 fixed point to pixels.

Parameters

map	The AVSphericalVideo map to read bound values from.
width	Width of the current frame or stream.
height	Height of the current frame or stream.
left	Pixels from the left edge.
top	Pixels from the top edge.
right	Pixels from the right edge.
bottom	Pixels from the bottom edge.

av_spherical_projection_name()

const char * av_spherical_projection_name

(

enum AVSphericalProjection

projection

)

Provide a human-readable name of a given AVSphericalProjection.

Parameters

projection

The input AVSphericalProjection.

Returns

The name of the AVSphericalProjection, or "unknown".

av_spherical_from_name()

int av_spherical_from_name

(

const char *

name

)

Get the AVSphericalProjection form a human-readable name.

Parameters

name	The input string.

Returns

The AVSphericalProjection value, or -1 if not found.
