What is Spherical Video PTZ?

Spherical Video PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) is a technology that allows users to dynamically adjust the viewing direction within a 360° video. This enables real-time navigation, providing an immersive experience that lets users explore a scene from different angles as if they were physically present.

Common applications of Spherical Video PTZ include:

  • Sports and entertainment
  • Live event viewing
  • Real-time surveillance
  • Vehicle surround monitoring
  • Robot teleoperation

For spherical videos to be properly displayed, an equirectangular (2D spherical) image must be mapped to a rectilinear projection. Simply cropping the input results in distorted or warped images.

How RidgeRun’s Spherical Video PTZ Solves This

RidgeRun’s Spherical Video PTZ simplifies this process by:

  • Converting equirectangular images into rectilinear projections.
  • Providing real-time pan (horizontal), tilt (vertical), and zoom controls.
  • Utilizing NVIDIA Jetson and GStreamer for optimized processing.

These capabilities make it ideal for embedded video applications requiring seamless navigation through 360° footage.
