    Abstract: A point cloud encoding method is provided to improve coding efficiency. The method includes: obtaining global matched patches in N frames of point clouds in a point cloud group; determining M union patch occupancy maps corresponding to M sets, where a union patch occupancy map corresponding to an mth set is a union set of occupancy maps of all global matched patches in the mth set; packing the M union patch occupancy maps to obtain a global occupancy map; packing each of the N frames of point clouds to obtain occupancy maps of the N frames of point clouds; and encoding the N frames of point clouds based on the occupancy maps of the N frames of point clouds.

    Abstract: A media data coding mechanism is disclosed. The mechanism includes partitioning media data into a plurality of blocks. A transform is applied to the blocks to obtain a plurality of quantization coefficients. The quantization coefficients are sorted into quality layers of decreasing priority based on frequency, wherein each subsequent layer includes data to incrementally increase quality of a reconstructed media data. Quantization coefficients for all blocks are positioned in a media data packet according to quality layer in order of decreasing priority. The media data packet is stored.

    Abstract: A method of point cloud coding (PCC) including receiving encoded patch information data; obtaining a patch corresponding to the encoded patch information data, the patch having a patch type; determining whether the patch type for the patch is a last patch type; and terminating a reconstruction process corresponding to the encoded patch information data when the patch type is the last patch type. Another method includes the same receiving and obtaining steps, but determining whether the patch type for the patch is a skip patch type; decoding a reference patch index corresponding to the patch when the patch type is the skip patch type; determining a reference index for the patch based on a reference frame index corresponding to the patch and the reference patch index as decoded when the patch type is the skip patch type; and reconstructing a volumetric representation of the patch.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a processor configured to obtain a point cloud, make a choice between octree encoding or quadtree encoding of a parent node, and encode the parent node into a bitstream based on the choice; and a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to transmit the bitstream. An apparatus comprises a receiver configured to receive a bitstream; and a processor coupled to the receiver and configured to parse from the bitstream a first parameter indicating a depth of PCC, decode first nodes before the depth using octree decoding, parse from the bitstream a second parameter indicating a node coding mode for second nodes at and after the depth, and decode the second nodes based on the second parameter.
