Abstract
Methods of encoding and decoding immersive video are provided. In an encoding method, source video data comprising a plurality of source views is encoded into a video bitstream. At least one of the source views is down-sampled prior to encoding. A metadata bitstream associated with the video stream comprises metadata describing a configuration of the down-sampling, to assist a decoder to decode the video bitstream. It is believed that the use of down-sampled views may help to reduce coding artifacts, compared with a patch-based encoding approach. Also provided are an encoder and a decoder for immersive video, and an immersive video bitstream.
