Abstract
Techniques for multi-view video streaming are described in the present disclosure, wherein a viewport prediction may be employed at a client-end based on analysis of pre-fetched media item data and ancillary information. A streaming method may first prefetch a portion of content of a multi-view media item. The method may next identify a salient region from the prefetched content and may then download additional content of the media item that corresponds to the identified salient region.
