METHOD FOR DECODING IMMERSIVE VIDEO AND METHOD FOR ENCODING IMMERSIVE VIDEO - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18491023 titled 'METHOD FOR DECODING IMMERSIVE VIDEO AND METHOD FOR ENCODING IMMERSIVE VIDEO
The video encoding method described in the patent application involves classifying a group of view images into a basic image and additional images, conducting pruning on at least one of the view images based on the classification, creating an atlas based on the pruning results, and encoding the atlas along with metadata for the atlas. The metadata includes a flag indicating whether depth estimation is required on the decoder side.
- The method involves categorizing view images into a basic image and additional images.
- Pruning is performed on at least one view image based on the classification results.
- An atlas is generated from the pruning results.
- The atlas and its metadata, including a flag for depth estimation, are encoded.
Potential Applications: - Video encoding and compression technologies - Virtual reality and augmented reality applications - Multimedia content delivery systems
Problems Solved: - Efficient encoding and compression of multiple view images - Simplified metadata handling for depth estimation - Enhanced video quality and delivery performance

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Video Encoding Technology for Virtual Reality Applications This technology can be utilized in: - Virtual reality content creation studios - Streaming platforms for VR and AR content - Video compression software development companies
Prior Art: Information on prior video encoding methods and technologies related to virtual reality and augmented reality applications.
Frequently Updated Research: Any ongoing research related to video encoding methods for virtual reality and augmented reality applications.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the classification of view images into a basic image and additional images impact the encoding process? 2. What are the implications of the metadata flag for depth estimation on the decoder side in terms of video quality and performance?
Original Abstract Submitted
A video encoding method includes classifying a plurality of view images into a basic image and additional images, performing pruning on at least one of the plurality of view images on the basis of the classification result, generating an atlas on the basis of the pruning result, and encoding the atlas and metadata for the atlas. Here, the metadata includes a first flag indicating whether depth estimation needs to be performed on a decoder side.
