Adaptive Strip Compression for Panorama Video Streaming

In a traditional streaming system, the field of view (FOV) of an image is limited based on the FOV of the camera. One solution is the use of a pan/tilt camera, yet this is difficult for multiple clients to handle, plus there is a delay between the client and the server due to camera motion. Therefore, to solve these problems, a new streaming system is proposed that uses panorama image. However, the server does not compress the whole panorama image, which would involve sending huge amounts of data through the Internet. Instead, only parts of the panorama image are compressed and transmitted based on the navigation requests of the client, thereby reducing the compression burden on the server.
