Multiple perspective video streaming using gradual decoding refresh

A method of streaming a multiple perspective video of a scene, the method comprising:

• receiving a stream of packets configured to carry a first stream of decoding units (DUs) and a second stream of DUs, the stream of packets including a stream of source packets and a stream of parity packets configured to provide unequal error protection to different sets of the DUs, the first stream of DUs encoding a video of a first view of the scene and having been generated by intra-coding a selected region of a respective frame, inter-coding other regions of the respective frame, and changing the selected region based on a first gradual decoding refresh (GDR) period, the second stream of DUs encoding a video of a second view of the scene and having been generated by intra-coding a chosen region of a corresponding frame, inter-coding other regions of the corresponding frame, and changing the chosen region based on a second GDR period, the video of the second view having a lower spatial resolution and a lower bit rate than the video of the first view;
• reconstructing the first stream of DUs and the second stream of DUs based on the stream of source packets and the stream of parity packets;
• and
• playing at least one of the video of the first view and the video of the second view on a player device using GDR and further using at least one of the reconstructed first and second streams of DUs.
