Methods and apparatus for using track derivations for network based media processing

Abstract

The techniques described herein relate to methods, apparatus, and computer readable media configured to perform media processing. A media processing entity includes at least one processor in communication with a memory, wherein the memory stores computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform receiving, from a remote computing device, multi-view multimedia data comprising a hierarchical track structure comprising at least a first track comprising first media data at a first level of the hierarchical track structure, and metadata associated with a second track at a second level in the hierarchical track structure that is different than the first level of the first track. The instructions further cause the processor to perform processing the first media data of the first track based on the metadata associated with the second track to generate second media data for the second track.
