Immersive media streaming prioritized by frequency of asset reuse

A device for packaging media for optimizing immersive media distribution, the device comprising:

• at least one memory configured to store computer program code;
• and
• at least one processor configured to read the computer program code and operate as instructed by the computer program code, the computer program code including:
• receiving code configured to cause the at least one processor to receive immersive media data for an immersive presentation;
• acquiring code configured to cause the at least one processor to acquire asset information associated with media assets corresponding to a set of scenes included in the immersive media data for the immersive presentation;
• analyzing code configured to cause the at least one processor to analyze characteristics of the media assets based on the asset information, the characteristics comprising an asset type associated with a respective media asset and a frequency that indicates a number of times the respective media asset is used among the set of scenes included in the immersive presentation;
• and
• sequencing code configured to cause the at least one processor to order the media assets in a sequence based on the asset type and the frequency associated with each of the media assets.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a device for packaging media for optimizing immersive media distribution, cause the at least one processor to:

• receive immersive media data for an immersive presentation;
• acquire asset information associated with media assets corresponding to a set of scenes included in the immersive media data for the immersive presentation;
• analyze characteristics of the media assets based on the asset information, the characteristics comprising an asset type associated with a respective media asset and a frequency that indicates a number of times the respective media asset is used among the set of scenes included in the immersive presentation;
• and
• order the media assets in a sequence based on the asset type and the frequency associated with each of the media assets.
