  • Publication number: 20250211753
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for receiving content related to geometry-based point clouds. A client device may receive a media presentation description (MPD) file from a content server. A set of pre-selection elements may be identified from the MPD file. One or more adaptation sets associated with at least one pre-selection element of the set of pre-selection elements may be identified. The adaptation set(s) may be indicated by an attribute associated with one of the pre-selection elements. A geometry-based point cloud compression (GPCC) tile identifier associated with a viewport may be determined.

  • Patent number: 12255945
    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.

  • Publication number: 20240430478
    Abstract: Media content may be adaptively (for example, selectively or partially) streamed based on temporal levels. The temporal levels may be indicated in a media content manifest (for example, a media presentation description (MPD)). For example, media samples for geometry-based point cloud compression (G-PCC) media content may be divided into temporal levels associated with temporal level identifiers. An MPD may indicate one or more adaptation sets associated with G-PCC media content. An adaptation set may be selected from multiple adaptation sets, A representation set may be determined from the selected adaptation set. An indication of a G-PCC descriptor associated with a representation of the representation set may be obtained from the MPD. Temporal Levels present in the representation may be identified using the G-PCC descriptor, which may include a set of temporal level identifiers, The representation may be selected based on the G-PCC descriptor.

  • Publication number: 20240236432
    Abstract: A method for fine tuning video data in a low delay streaming application comprising: obtaining an identifier of a quality of experience defining a group of constraint flags involved to obtain the quality of experience, each constraint flag being used to activate or deactivate an associated encoding tool of a video encoder, the identifier specifies a value for each constraint flag indicating an activation or a deactivation of the associated encoding tool; transmitting the identifier to a server; and, receiving a video stream compliant with the identifier from the server.

  • Patent number: 12003794
    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.

  • Patent number: 11974001
    Abstract: A secondary content such as an advertisement may be inserted based on users' interests in 360 degree video streaming. Users may have different interests and may watch different areas within a 360 degree video. The information about area(s) of 360 degree scenes that users watch the most may be used to select an ad(s) relevant to their interests. One or more secondary content viewports may be defined within a 360 degree video frame. Secondary content viewport parameter(s) may be tracked. For example, statistics of the user's head orientation for some time leading to the presentation of the ad(s) may be collected. Secondary content may be determined based on the tracked secondary content viewport parameter(s).

  • Publication number: 20240022773
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for streaming of visual volumetric video-based coding (V3C) media and geometry-based point cloud coding (G-PCC) media are described herein. A method implemented in a receiving device may include receiving one or more of a first message including a list of media assets that are available to be streamed from the sending device, or one or more messages respectively describing the media assets. The method may further include sending a second message indicating a request for a subset of the media assets to be streamed from the sending device. The requested subset of the media assets may be determined based on a viewport of the receiving device. The method may further include receiving Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) Media Transport Protocol (MMTP) packets and processing the packets to recover at least a portion of the requested subset of the media assets.
