    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: 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 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.
