A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided to define the location of a center point associated with each frame within a stream of image data. Metadata associated with the orientation, such as the pitch and yaw, of a camera is synchronized on a frame-by-frame basis with a related stream of image data. In connection with receiving the image data and the orientation data, the method defines a center point associated with a video frame images and transmits a control signal causing the reorientation of at least a subset of video image frames. In some example implementations, arising in the context of 360° video streams, the rotation of the head of a viewer of virtual reality content or other 360° video streams may be taken into account when defining the location of a center point.
A method comprising:
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instruction stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising program code instructions configured to:
