Abstract:
1. A method of encoding video data, the method comprising: receiving a first picture of a first view of a scene having a first resolution; receiving a second picture of a second view of the scene having a reduced resolution relative to the first resolution; forming an asymmetric frame comprising the first picture and the second picture, wherein the asymmetric frame comprises the first picture and the second picture as a single frame; encoding the asymmetric frame, wherein encoding the asymmetric frame comprises encoding the single frame; forming a supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message comprising an asymmetric packing indicator value that indicates that the asymmetric frame is an asymmetric frame, a frame packing arrangement type value indicating that the first picture and the second picture have one of a side-by-side arrangement and a top-bottom arrangement, and information indicating a location of the first picture relative to the second picture in the asymmetric frame; encapsulating the asymmetric frame in a video coding layer (VCL) network abstraction layer (NAL) unit; encapsulating the SEI message in a non-VCL NAL unit; encapsulating the VCL NAL unit including the asymmetric frame and the non-VCL NAL unit including the SEI message in an access unit, wherein the access unit corresponds to a specific time instance; and outputting the access unit.
