360 neighbor-based quality selector, range adjuster, viewport manager, and motion estimator for graphics

An apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• logic communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the logic is implemented at least partly in one or more of configurable logic or fixed-functionality logic hardware, the logic communicatively coupled to the memory to:
• identify a two-dimensional (2D) frame that is to include a first block and a second block, wherein the first block is to be discontinuous from the second block in the 2D frame, wherein the 2D frame is to correspond to a projection from a 360 video space;
• identify that the first block and the second block are to be equidistant from an intersection in the 2D frame of a first line and a second line;
• identify that the first block and the second block are to be neighbors in the 360 video space based on the first block and the second block being equidistant from the intersection in the 2D frame;
• identify that a first set of blocks in the 2D frame are to include the first block and the second block based on the first block and the second block being neighbors in the 360 video space;
• select a first quantization parameter value for each block of the first set of blocks;
• identify a second set of blocks in the 2D frame;
• and
• select a second quantization parameter value for each block of the second set of blocks, wherein the second quantization parameter value is to be different from the first quantization parameter value.
