Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies for transmitting three-dimensional video data require significant bandwidth and experience transmission delays due to the large data volume, which is not efficiently managed by existing methods.

Innovation Solution

The method involves pixel-coding the three-dimensional video data instead of transmitting pixel values directly, with the terminal dynamically determining and adjusting the coding-mapping relationship based on current requirements, allowing for optimized transmission over a mobile edge computing server.
