Abstract: A client device adaptively streams a 360-degree video. A first segment is displayed based on a first viewing direction at a first time, where the first viewing direction is associated with a first viewport. The client requests a first base buffer segment based on the first viewport. The first base buffer segment has a presentation time after the first segment. At a second time, the viewing direction changes to a second viewing direction associated with a second viewport. The client requests, prior to the presentation time, a first viewport buffer segment based on the second viewport, with the same presentation time. The client device displays a second segment at the presentation time, wherein the second segment is either the first viewport buffer segment or the first base buffer segment. The client provides reports on viewport switching latency and on the most-requested segments.

Abstract: A streaming device may request and download multi-layer video segments based on a number of factors including the artistic interest associated with the video segments and/or the status of a buffer area managed by the streaming device. The multi-layer segments may be coded using scalable coding techniques or a combination of scalable coding and simulcast coding techniques by which each of the video segments may be coded into one or more representations of different qualities and/or bitrates. When requesting the multi-layer segments, the streaming device may ensure that the fullness of the buffer area falls between a buffer underflow threshold and a backfilling threshold under various network conditions. The streaming device may estimate the available network bandwidth in order to facilitate the scheduling decisions. The streaming device may consider the artistic interest associated with the video segments during scheduling and may give priority to those segments with higher artistic interest.

Abstract: Methods are described herein for signaling information regarding different viewpoints in a multi-viewpoint omnidirectional media presentation. In some embodiments, a container file (which may use the ISO Base Media File Format) is generated containing several tracks.

In some embodiments, a manifest (such as an MPEG-DASFI MPD) is generated, where the manifest includes viewpoint identifiers that identify the viewpoint associated with each stream. In some embodiments, metadata included in a container file and/or in a manifest provides information on the position of each viewpoint, the intervals during which each viewpoint is available, transition effects for transitions between viewpoints, and/or recommended projection formats for corresponding field-of-view ranges.

Abstract: Systems and methods related to video encoding and decoding using decoder-side intra mode derivation (DIMD) are described. In an exemplary method of coding samples in a block in a video, an intra coding mode is selected based on a plurality of reconstructed samples in a template region adjacent to the block, and the samples in the block are predicted with intra prediction using the selected intra coding mode. The intra coding mode may be selected by testing a plurality of candidate intra coding modes for cost (e.g. distortion) of predicting the template region from a set of reconstructed reference samples. The mode with the lowest cost is used for prediction. In exemplary embodiments, explicit signaling of the intra mode is not required.
