1. A method for encoding a first video frame sequence and a second video frame sequence, the first video frame sequence corresponding to a first perspective view, the second frame sequence corresponding to a second perspective view, the method comprising:

  • applying a first tier of hierarchical encoding to the first video frame sequence to produce first tier encoded data, the first tier of hierarchical encoding using first internal referencing, the first internal referencing involving multiple frames within the first video frame sequence;

    applying a second tier of hierarchical encoding to the second video frame sequence to produce second tier encoded data, the second tier of hierarchical encoding using both second internal referencing and first external referencing, the second internal referencing involving multiple frames within the second video frame sequence, the first external referencing involving references between a frame of the second video frame sequence and a frame of the first video frame sequence; and

    the first tier encoded data being independently decodable, and the second tier encoded data being decodable with access to the first tier encoded data.
