*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 17897555 Titled 'Encoding Depth Information for Images'

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a method for encoding depth information in three-dimensional content for images. The depth information is encoded based on a near-plane value and a far-plane value. The method involves accessing the depth information and adjusting the near-plane and far-plane values based on a loss function. The adjusted values are then used to encode the depth information for transmission.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

In one embodiment, a method includes accessing depth information for three-dimensional content for one or more images, the depth information having been encoded based on a first near-plane value and a first far-plane value. The method further includes accessing an adjusted near-plane value and an adjusted far-plane value, where the adjusted near-plane value and the adjusted far-plane value are based on a loss function with respect to the depth information; and encoding the depth information for transmission using the adjusted near-plane value and the adjusted far-plane value.
