Claim 8:
9. A computer-implemented method for assisting a receiver system in processing video data which is streamed as a video stream to the receiver system via a network, wherein the processing is dependent on an analysis of the video data and comprises compositing an object into the video data, the method comprising:
via the network, receiving the video stream;
via the network, forwarding the video stream to the receiver system;
via the network, providing object data to the receiver system, the object data defining at least part of the object;
sequentially decoding the video stream to obtain a series of decoded video data parts;
sequentially analyzing the decoded video data parts to obtain an analysis result including a characteristic of a composition of the object into the video data, such as a position and/or orientation of the object;
sequentially generating processing assist data for the individual ones of the decoded video data parts to obtain a series of processing assist data comprising the analysis result or a processing instruction derived from the analysis results;
via the network, providing the series of processing assist data as a processing assist data stream to the receiver system to enable the receiver system to process the video data as decoded by the receiver system using the analysis result or the processing instruction provided by the processing assist data, wherein the providing the processing assist data for a video data part to the receiver system is performed after the receiver system has started decoding the video data part.
