Abstract: A method of processing multi-view video data by an server is described, wherein the method may comprise receiving one or more first multi-view parameters from a client device, the one or more multi-view parameters being indicative of a first data format associated with a multi-view display device of the client device; receiving a request for a segment sent by the client device based on a manifest file, the segment request comprising a segment resource locator identifying a first source segment comprising first multi-view video data, the segment resource locator comprising one or more second multi-view parameters indicating that the first multi-view video data are of a second data format; generating a segment of the first data format based on the one or more first multi-view parameters, the first multi-view video data and, optionally, further multi-view video data associated with one or more further source segments; and, transmitting the generated segment to the client device.

Abstract: A compression system is configured to obtain a plurality (231) of two-dimensional arrays (234-239) of element values, e.g. a plurality of video frames. Same positions in different arrays comprise a value of the same element at a different moment. The compression system is further configured to convert the plurality of two-dimensional arrays of element values to a three-dimensional point cloud (232), which comprises a plurality of data points, by mapping the positions of the element values in the plurality of two-dimensional arrays to coordinates of the data points and associating each of the element values with a corresponding data point in the point cloud. The compression system is further configured to apply geometry-based point cloud compression to the three-dimensional point cloud.

Abstract: A method of decoding coded pictures of a video is described wherein the method includes the steps of receiving, by a decoder apparatus, a bitstream comprising an encoded representation of first pictures of a first resolution version of the video and decoding the coded first pictures into first pictures, the first pictures being associated with corresponding second pictures of a second resolution version of the video, the first pictures being formed by sampling the corresponding second pictures using a sampling lattice of a plurality of sampling lattices of a spatial subsampling scheme; receiving, by the decoder apparatus, signalling information in the bitstream, the signalling information informing the decoder apparatus about a resolution change and identifying at least one of the first pictures as a first base picture and identifying one or more auxiliary pictures, the first base picture being associated with a corresponding second picture, and, each of the one or more auxiliary pictures being formed based o
