Abstract: A method and system for three-dimensional video content processing is disclosed comprising an operation of receiving first video data representing three-dimensional video content arranged as a plurality of first tiles associated with respective sub-areas of an image. Another operation comprises providing data indicating for each first tile a depth range of video content within said tile. Another operation comprises determining for each first tile a respective volume based on the depth range. Another operation comprises determining a field of view of a user in relation to the first tile volumes. Another operation comprises rendering of the first video data for one or more first tiles only if their determined volume is at least partially within the field of view.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and technical equipment for implementing the method. The method comprises generating a three-dimensional segment of a scene of a content; generating more than one two-dimensional views of the three-dimensional segment, each two-dimensional view representing a virtual camera view; generating multi-view streams by encoding each of the two-dimensional views; encoding parameters of a virtual camera to the respective stream of the multi-view stream; receiving a selection of one or more streams of the multi-view stream; and streaming only the selected one or more streams.
