Reduced rendering of six-degree of freedom video

Abstract:

Embodiments described herein provide for techniques to reduce the complexity of rendering immersive 3D video content. One embodiment provides for an apparatus comprising one or more processors to receive a data set that represents a two-dimensional encoding of planar projections of a frame of a three-dimensional video, decode the two-dimensional encoding into texture data, geometry data, and metadata, determine, based on the metadata, a visibility status and an occupancy status for a sample position in the three-dimensional video, and render video data for the sample position when the sample position is visible and occupied.
