Packing of views for image or video coding

The invention discloses an encoder, a decoder, an encoding method and a decoding method for 3DoF + video. The encoding method comprises receiving (110) a multi-view image or video data comprising a base view of a scene and at least a first additional view. The method continues by identifying (220) pixels in the first additional view that need to be encoded, as they contain scene content that is not visible in the base view. The first additional view is divided (230) into a plurality of first blocks of pixels. Retaining (240) a first block comprising at least one of the identified pixels; and discarding the first block that does not contain any of the identified pixels. The retained blocks are rearranged (250) such that they are contiguous in at least one dimension. The packed additional view is generated (260) and encoded (264) according to the rearranged first reserved block. 公开了用于3DoF+视频的编码器、解码器、编码方法和解码方法。所述编码方法包括接收(110)包括场景的基本视图和至少第一附加视图的多视图图像或视频数据。所述方法通过识别(220)所述第一附加视图中需要被编码的像素而继续进行，因为它们包含在所述基本视图中不可见的场景内容
