Abstract: Techniques for multi-view video streaming are described in the present disclosure, wherein a viewport prediction may be employed at a client-end based on analysis of pre-fetched media item data and ancillary information. A streaming method may first prefetch a portion of content of a multi-view media item. The method may next identify a salient region from the prefetched content and may then download additional content of the media item that corresponds to the identified salient region.

Abstract: Techniques for video exchange are disclosed in which a video source sends redundant copies of video coded at a given presentation time. A decoder may determine, from metadata stored with a first decoded frame, whether other decoded frames have been designated as correlated to the first decoded frame. If so, the decoder may fetch other decoding frames using time indicator values of other decoded frames in metadata stored with the first decoded frame. When other decoded frame(s) are found, the decoder may blend content of the first coded frame and the other decoded frame(s). The decoder may render the blended frame. When one such coded frame is an intra-coded frame, the proposed technique may alleviate beating artifacts by blending recovered data of the intra-coded frame with recovered data of another frame, which may be inter-coded.

Abstract: Methods are described for encoding and decoding blocks of image data using intra block copying (IBC). A source block for intra block copying is selected from a source region of a current image that is closer to the current block than a threshold, wherein the source region does not include a portion of the current image that is further from the current block than the threshold.
