Abstract: The embodiments relate to a method for encoding including receiving a sequence of volumetric video frames including a volumetric visual object being defined with a mesh of interconnected vertices; selecting one or more reference frames from the sequence of volumetric video frames for a group of pictures; clustering a mesh of the one or more reference frames into patches, each patch being associated with a corresponding bounding volume; creating matching patches in frames dependent on the reference frame; estimating scaling and rotation parameters for each individual patch in the dependent frame; applying the estimated scaling and rotation parameters to bounding volume of a patch of the dependent frames; packing the patches to an atlas bitstream of a volumetric video stream and including into a bitstream the estimated rotation parameter alongside the bounding volume of a patch. The embodiments also relate to a method for decoding, and corresponding equipment.

Abstract: An apparatus may be configured to: transmit, to a client, an indication of one or more request-response overload capabilities; receive, from the client, at least one request for a plurality of media segments based, at least partially, on the indication of the one or more request-response overload capabilities; and transmit, to the client, at least one response comprising the plurality of media segments. The apparatus may be, for example, a media server, an HTTP overload handler, an edge server, a DANE, etc.

Abstract: An apparatus includes at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: obtain a scene comprising three-dimensional information in the form of point clouds, three-dimensional meshes, two-dimensional projections of three-dimensional information, light sources, animations or any other form considered as a representation or description of three-dimensional content; extract lighting information from the obtained scene; process the extracted lighting information into at least one explicit lighting parameter and/or at least one pre-processed lighting map; and encode the scene with the at least one pre-processed lighting map and/or the at least one lighting parameter in a file format or as a visual volumetric video-based coding bitstream.

Abstract: A method of coupling asynchronous process interaction between computer systems integrated within an overall system of interconnected systems includes receiving a set of information describing an invocation call for execution of a first process on a first system integrated within the overall system; correlating a first callback argument received upon completion of the first process that includes a first unique identifier for the first process generated by the first system with the set of information according to the first unique identifier for the first process; and sending a notification message to a callback endpoint in a second process implemented to receive notification upon completion of the first process by the first system indicating completion of the first process. The second process executing on a second system integrated within the overall system makes the invocation call. The set of information specifies the first unique identifier and the callback endpoint.
