Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture for video coding using object metadata are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an object separator to separate input views into layers associated with respective objects to generate object layers for geometry data and texture data of the input views, a pruner to project the first object layer of a first basic view of the at least one basic views against the first object layer of a first additional view of the at least one additional views to generate a first pruned view and a first pruning mask, a patch packer to tag a patch with an object identifier of the first object, the patch corresponding to the first pruning mask, and an atlas generator to generate at least one atlas to include in encoded video data, the atlas including the patch.
