Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute information and/or spatial for a point cloud and/or a decoder configured to decompress compressed attribute and/or spatial information for the point cloud. To compress the attribute and/or spatial information, the encoder is configured to convert a point cloud into an image based representation. Also, the decoder is configured to generate a decompressed point cloud based on an image based representation of a point cloud. Additionally, an encoder is configured to signal and/or a decoder is configured to receive a supplementary message comprising volumetric tiling information that maps portions of 2D image representations to objects in the point. In some embodiments, characteristics of the object may additionally be signaled using the supplementary message or additional supplementary messages.

Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute information and/or spatial information for a point cloud and/or a decoder configured to decompress compressed attribute and/or spatial information for the point cloud. To compress the attribute and/or spatial information, the encoder is configured to convert a point cloud into an image based representation. Also, the decoder is configured to generate a decompressed point cloud based on an image based representation of a point cloud. In some embodiments, a bit stream structure may be used to communicate compressed point cloud data. The bit stream structure may include point cloud compression network abstraction layer (PCCNAL) units that enable use of groups of frames (GOFs), frame, and sub-frame signaling of patch information. Such a bit stream structure may permit low delay streaming and random access reconstruction of point clouds amongst other applications.

Abstract: An encoder is configured to compress point cloud geometry information using an octree geometric compression technique that utilizes a binary arithmetic encoder, a look-ahead table, a cache, and a context selection process, wherein encoding contexts are selected based, at least in part, on neighborhood configurations. In a similar manner, a decoder is configured to decode compressed point cloud geometry information utilizing a binary arithmetic encoder, a look-ahead table, a cache, and a context selection process.

Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute information for a point cloud and/or a decoder configured to decompress compressed attribute information. Attribute values for at least one starting point are included in a compressed attribute information file and attribute correction values are included in the compressed attribute information file. Attribute values are predicted based, at least in part, on attribute values of neighboring points. The predicted attribute values are compared to attribute values of a point cloud prior to compression to determine attribute correction values. In order to improve computing efficiency and/or repeatability, fixed-point number representations are used when determining predicted attribute values and attribute correction values. A decoder follows a similar prediction process as an encoder and corrects predicted values using attribute correction values included in a compressed attribute information file using fixed-point number representations.

Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute and/or spatial information for a point cloud and/or a decoder configured to decompress compressed attribute and/or spatial information for the point cloud. To compress the attribute and/or spatial information, the encoder is configured to convert a point cloud into an image based representation. Also, the decoder is configured to generate a decompressed point cloud based on an image based representation of a point cloud. In some embodiments, an encoder performs downscaling of an image frame prior to video encoding and a decoder performs upscaling of an image frame subsequent to video decoding.

Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute information and/or spatial for a point cloud and/or a decoder configured to decompress compressed attribute and/or spatial information for the point cloud. To compress the attribute and/or spatial information, the encoder is configured to convert a point cloud into an image based representation. Also, the decoder is configured to generate a decompressed point cloud based on an image based representation of a point cloud. The encoder generates an occupancy map and may also encode the occupancy map as an image based representation. In some embodiments, a video encoder encodes image based representations of spatial information for the points of the point cloud, image based representations of attribute values for points of the point cloud, and an image based representation of an occupancy map for the spatial and attribute images.

Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute information and/or spatial for a point cloud and/or a decoder configured to decompress compressed attribute and/or spatial information for the point cloud. To compress the attribute and/or spatial information, the encoder is configured to convert a point cloud into an image based representation. Also, the decoder is configured to generate a decompressed point cloud based on an image based representation of a point cloud. A closed-loop color conversion process is used to improve compression while taking into consideration distortion introduced throughout the point cloud compression process.
