Abstract: Embodiments are generally directed to selective packing of patches for immersive video. An embodiment of a processing system includes one or more processor cores; and a memory to store data for immersive video, the data including a plurality of patches for multiple projection directions. The system is select the patches for packing, the selection of the patches based at least in part on which of the multiple projection directions is associated with each of the patches. The system is to encode the patches into one or more coded pictures according to the selection of the patches.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for occlusion data compression. For example, one embodiment of a graphics processing apparatus comprises: vertex generation circuitry/logic to generate vertices of objects in a 3D space including occlusion binary vectors for the vertices, the objects captured by a set of M cameras; sorting circuitry/logic to sort the vertices in accordance with coordinates of the vertices; pre-compression circuitry/logic to transform the occlusion binary vectors of the vertices by logically combining adjacent bit fields in the sorted order to generate converted bit strings having a larger number of binary zero values than the occlusion binary vectors; compression circuitry/logic to compress the converted bit strings using run length encoding (RLE) compression to generate compressed bit fields; and a memory and/or storage device to store the compressed bit fields.
