Processing omnidirectional media with dynamic region-wise packing

Abstract

An example device for processing video data includes a memory configured to store an omnidirectional video stream, and a processor implemented in circuitry and configured to process (e.g., encode, transmit, receive, or decode) a first frame of a set of file format samples of the omnidirectional video stream, the set of file format samples referring to a sample entry, the first frame having a first region-wise packing scheme, and process a second frame of the set of file format samples referring to the sample entry, the second frame having a second region-wise packing scheme different than the first region-wise packing scheme. In this manner, a single omnidirectional video bitstream may include an entire virtual reality (VR) video content with most-requested regions being optimized with a largest number of color samples per unit of area.
