Abstract
A method for generating metadata to accompany a volumetric video for texels in an object in a volumetric video. The method comprises steps of: inputting a 2D representation of the object; identifying areas in the representation that have the same one or more properties with respect to light; and generating input material groups, where all texels in each input material group have the same properties with respect to light. There exists a correspondence between at least part of the input representation and at least part of the object in the volumetric video, so that there is a correspondence between texels in the representation and texels in the object so that output material groups can be generated from the input material groups and the properties with respect to light can be stored with the volumetric video as metadata.
