IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS

Provided is an image processing method including: generating an omnidirectional spherical image; determining information regarding a director's view that indicates some regions of the omnidirectional spherical image; generating a projection image by projecting the omnidirectional spherical image to a development view of a polyhedron; dividing, from the projection image, a director's view projection image corresponding to the director's view, based on the information regarding the director's view; reshaping the director's view projection image into a director's view rectangular image by moving a location of at least one of pixels of the director's view projection image; and generating a bitstream which the director's view rectangular image is encoded into.
