1. A video encoder comprising:
interface circuitry;
instructions; and
at least one processor circuit to be programmed by the instructions to:
project first point cloud data associated with a first object identifier onto a first pair of projection layers of a projection plane, the first pair of projection layers to be tagged with the first object identifier to associate the first pair of projection layers with a first object;
project second point cloud data associated with a second object identifier onto a second pair of projection layers of the projection plane, the second pair of projection layers different from the first pair of projection layers, the second object identifier different from the first object identifier, the second pair of projection layers to be tagged with the second object identifier to associate the second pair of projection layers with a second object different than the first object;
generate a patch based on at least one projection layer of the first pair of projection layers, the patch associated with the first object identifier of the first object; and
generate an atlas to include in encoded video data, the atlas including the patch.
