How to determine the 655362 positions on the sphere? #1

Open Rouen007 opened 8 years ago

I am total agree with the idea of S-PSNR and L-PSNR described in "A Framework to Evaluate Omnidirectional Video Coding Schemes". But I am confused with how to determine the uniformly distribution on the sphere , e.g., the 655362 positions, when I see the implementation of the source code. Did any information, theories or references support the correctness of the distributation of those points?

Thank you very much.

Dear Ang,

The points were generated using the following MATLAB script (not developed by us): http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/28842-grid-sphere

The alternative is to generate millions of random points, uniformly distributed on the sphere. In our tests, using the fixed points in the MATLAB script I linked gives very similar results while needing to sample less points than when sampling randomly.

Sincerely, Matt
