Claim 5:
6. The device of claim 1, wherein the one or more encoded 2D image frames are encoded as a plurality of blocks;
wherein the program instruction, when executed using the one or more processors further cause the one or more processors to:
for each block of an image frame,
determine, based on an occupancy map, whether the block includes only data for a patch image, includes only non-patch image data, or includes a mix of data for a patch image and non-patch image data; and
for blocks including only non-patch image data, budget a lower level of decoding resources;
for blocks including only patch-image data, budget a high level of decoding resources; and
for blocks including a mix of data for a patch image and non-patch image data, divide the block into sub-blocks, wherein sub-blocks comprising non-patch image data are budgeted less decoding resources than sub-blocks comprising data for patch images.
