The evolution of volumetric video: A survey of smart transcoding and compression approaches
It addresses the problem of efficient delivery for volumetric video, which is crucial for enabling immersive media experiences, but it is incremental as it is a survey rather than presenting new methods.
The paper surveys the state-of-the-art in volumetric video compression and delivery, focusing on AI-driven solutions to tackle the challenge of efficiently handling high-bandwidth, data-intensive streams for immersive 3D experiences.
Volumetric video, the capture and display of three-dimensional (3D) imagery, has emerged as a revolutionary technology poised to transform the media landscape, enabling immersive experiences that transcend the limitations of traditional 2D video. One of the key challenges in this domain is the efficient delivery of these high-bandwidth, data-intensive volumetric video streams, which requires innovative transcoding and compression techniques. This research paper explores the state-of-the-art in volumetric video compression and delivery, with a focus on the potential of AI-driven solutions to address the unique challenges posed by this emerging medium.
