Abstract
Method, device, and non-transitory storage medium for adaptive streaming of immersive media are provided. The method may include determining characteristics associated with a scene to be transmitted to the end client, adjusting at least a part of the scene to be transmitted to the end client based on the determined characteristics, and transmitting an adaptive stream of the lightfield or holographic immersive media comprising the adjusted scene based on the determined characteristics.
Claims17
A method for adaptive streaming of lightfield or holographic immersive media, the method being executed by one or more processors, the method comprising:
- determining a bandwidth availability associated with an end client;
- determining characteristics associated with a scene to be transmitted to the end client;
- when the bandwidth availability is a limited availability, adjusting the scene to be transmitted to the end client to a first depth based on the characteristics associated with the scene, wherein the first depth corresponds to the bandwidth availability, and wherein the first depth indicates a distance from a camera to a respective object;
- and
- transmitting an adaptive stream of the lightfield or the holographic immersive media comprising the adjusted scene.
An apparatus for adaptive streaming of lightfield or holographic immersive media, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory configured to store program code;
- and
- at least one processor configured to read the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code including:
- first determining code configured to cause the at least one processor to determine a bandwidth availability associated with an end client and characteristics associated with a scene to be transmitted to the end client;
- second determining code configured to cause the at least one processor to, when the bandwidth availability is a limited availability, adjust the scene to be transmitted to the end client to a first depth based on the characteristics associated with the scene, wherein the first depth corresponds to the bandwidth availability, and wherein the first depth indicates a distance from a camera to a respective object;
- and
- transmitting code configured to cause the at least one processor to transmit an adaptive stream of the lightfield or the holographic immersive media comprising the adjusted scene.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device for adaptive streaming of lightfield or holographic immersive media, cause the one or more processors to:
- determine a bandwidth availability associated with an end client and characteristics associated with a scene to be transmitted to the end client;
- when the bandwidth availability is a limited availability, adjust the scene to be transmitted to the end client to a first depth based on the characteristics associated with the scene, wherein the first depth corresponds to the bandwidth availability, and wherein the first depth indicates a distance from a camera to a respective object;
- and
- transmit an adaptive stream of the lightfield or the holographic immersive media comprising the adjusted scene.
