@anyware thanks. as always, super cool blog post with many insights. I never thought any industry would dare to go back to layered encoding.. I was super excited to see Apple came along. Even if it's not for regular videos...
@anyware I see.. but even in case of immersive TV videos, in your figure, the size seems at least 50% of the original.. do you think that's because the view overlap maybe larger than the Iphone stereo?
@anyware the inter-layer references (across frames temporally) are definitely computationally a nightmare.. but even without that, just referencing the views, mv-hevc should have reduced the data for layer1 quite a bit.
@anyware it's strange that spatial videos are double the size of regular videos. I don't see the point of using mv-hevc then? we could just compress the two streams independently right?
I am recruiting several research assistants, starting Jan 2024: PhD, MS & UG students!
