Real time 360° video stitching and streaming

In this paper we propose a real time 360° video stitching and streaming processing methodology focused on GPU. The solution creates a scalable solution for large resolutions, such as 4K and 8K per camera, and supports broadcasting solutions with cloud architectures. The methodology uses a group of deformable meshes, processed using OpenGL (GLSL) and the final image combine the inputs using a robust pixel shader. Moreover, the result can be streamed to a cloud service using h.264 encoding with nVEnc GPU encoding. Finally, we present some results.
