Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device having a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising predicting a viewpoint within a volumetric video based on a movement input provided by a viewer, resulting in a predicted viewpoint at a future time, retrieving a cell occupancy bitmap for a point cloud of the volumetric video for the future time, determining visible cells based on the cell occupancy bitmap and the predicted viewpoint, where the visible cells are not obscured by points in other cells, and retrieving points of the point cloud that are within the visible cells prior to the future time.
