Techniques for encoding and decoding immersive video

Abstract:

An example apparatus for encoding immersive video includes a view optimizer to receive a plurality of input views from a source camera and select basic views and additional views from the plurality of input views. The apparatus also includes a view pruner to prune the additional views based on a comparison with the basic views. The apparatus further includes a patch packer to generate atlases based on the pruned additional views and the basic views. The apparatus includes a metadata composer to generate metadata including additional metadata. The apparatus also further includes a bitstream generator to generate a bitstream including the encoded video and the metadata.
