FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The subject disclosure relates to a system and method for streaming visible portions of volumetric video.

BACKGROUND

A user streaming uncompressed volumetric videos from a server over a commercial Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, despite the high bandwidth offered by LTE, may experience unacceptably long stalls for almost all volumetric videos. Smartphone devices circa 2018 lack computation power to decompress volumetric videos encoded in a point cloud representation within a normally required frame rate of 30 frames per second, even when multiple CPU cores are present in the device and are fully utilized.
