1. A method for immersive video coding, comprising:
receiving one or more of a sequence of depth atlas pictures, a sequence of texture atlas pictures, and a sequence of occupancy map atlas pictures representative of immersive video;
coding the one or more sequences of depth atlas pictures, texture atlas pictures, and occupancy map atlas pictures with a video encoder to provide coded immersive video data comprising a plurality of output times each corresponding to individual ones of the pictures of the one or more sequences, wherein, for each of a subset of the output times, the coded immersive video data comprises an intra coded picture for one or more of a coded depth atlas picture, a coded texture atlas picture, and a coded occupancy map atlas picture; and
transmitting the coded immersive video data.
