    Abstract: A method and a device are disclosed to encode volumetric video in a patch-based atlas format in intra-periods of varying length. A first atlas layout is built for a first sequence of 3D scenes. The number of 3D scenes in the sequence is chosen to fit the size of a GoP of the codec. A second sequence is iteratively set up by appending the next 3D scene of the sequence to encode while the number of patches of the layout built for this iterative second sequence is lower than or equal to the number of patches of the first layout. When iterations end, one of the layouts is selected to generate every atlas of the group. In such a way, size of metadata is decreased and compression is enhanced.
