Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to generate packed video frames are disclosed. A video encoding system disclosed herein includes a configuration determiner to create a packed video frame layout that includes regions into which video components are to be placed. The system also includes a frame generator to form packed video frames that include the video components placed into different regions. The encoding system further includes a frame information generator that generates packed video frame information that identifies characteristics of the packed video frame including (i) the identities of regions included in the packed video frame layout, (ii) types of video components included in the regions, or iii) information identifying the locations and dimensions of the regions. A video encoder of the encoding system encodes the frames and includes the packed video frame information to signal the inclusion of the packed video frames in the encoded bitstream.
