downscaling, by the remote server, the first depth map as a second depth map, wherein the second depth map comprises a plurality of second depth pixels, and each second depth pixel has a depth value;
adjusting, by the remote server, the second depth map as a third depth map by scaling up the depth value of each second depth pixel based on a specific ratio;
dividing, by the remote server, the third depth map into a plurality of fourth depth maps;
