Method and System for Encoding a 3D Scene
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250097461 titled 'Method and System for Encoding a 3D Scene
Original Abstract Submitted
a computer-implemented method for encoding a scene volume includes: (a) identifying features of a scene volume that are within a camera perspective range with respect to a default camera perspective; (b) converting the identified features into rendered features; and (c) sorting the rendered features into a plurality of scene layers, each including corresponding depth, color, and transparency maps for the respective rendered features. further, (a), (b), and (c) may be repeated, operating on temporally ordered scene volumes, to produce and output a sequence encoding a video. corresponding systems and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed for encoding a 3d scene and for decoding an encoded 3d scene. efficient compression, transmission, and playback of video describing a 3d scene can be enabled, including for virtual reality displays with updates based on a changing perspective of a user viewer for variable-perspective playback.
