Abstract
Methods and apparatus for packing images into a frame and/or including additional content and/or graphics are described. A composite image is generated including at least one image in addition to another image and/or additional image content, e.g., a logo, texture, sign, or advertisement. In some embodiments, first and second pairs of stereoscopic images are combined, e.g., with additional image content to generate a composite image which is then encoded, e.g., using a UHD (Ultra High Definition) encoder. In some other embodiments, the rather than two pairs of stereo images a pair of stereo images are combined with images captured by two mono cameras. In various embodiments, the set of cameras which are sources of captured images for the composite image are dynamically selected, e.g., with different sets of cameras in a camera rig being selected at different times.
