Method and apparatus for encoding and decoding an icosahedron panorama image

摘要

A method of and apparatus for efficient encoding and decoding by reconstructing an icosahedron panorama image are provided. The method includes: dividing patches forming a top part and a bottom part, respectively, in development figure of an icosahedron panorama image, from patches forming a middle part; reconstructing the divided patches on a 2-dimensional plane so that patches having a high correlation are placed adjacent to each other; and encoding the reconstructed patches.
