Method and apparatus for requesting and receiving selected segment streams based on projection information

Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure provide an apparatus having an interface circuit, a processing circuit, and a display device. The interface circuit is configured to receive media presentation description information of media data. The media data includes video content on a two-dimensional (2D) plane that is projected from video content of a sphere surface. The video content on the 2D plane includes a plurality of segment streams having different coverages on the 2D plane. The media presentation description information uses projection based spatial relationship description (P-SRD) to describe the different coverages of the video content on the 2D plane according to the projection. The processing circuit is configured to determine one or more segment streams based on a region of interests for image generation and the P-SRD, select segments in the one or more segment streams, and cause the interface circuit to request and receive the selected segments.
