    摘要: A colored 3D scene is encoded as one or two patch atlas images. Points of the 3D scene belonging a part of the space defined according to a truncated sphere center on a point of view and visible from this point of view are iteratively projected onto projection maps. At each iteration the projected part is removed from the 3D scene and the truncated sphere defining the next part of the scene to be projected is rotated. Once the entirety of the 3D scene is projected on a set of projection maps, pictures are determined within these maps. A picture, also called patch, is a cluster of depth consistent connected pixels. Patches are packed in a depth and a color atlas associated with data comprising an information relative to the rotation of the truncated sphere, so, a decoder can retrieve the projection mapping and proceed to the inverse projection.

    摘要: At least one embodiment relates to a method and apparatus for encoding a volumetric video representing a scene, said encoding being based on patches representing the color and depth of a 2D projection of subparts of the scene, wherein a first patch is packed in a second patch for a given time interval lower than or equal to a time period along which the second patch is defined when said first patch can be packed in said second patch over said time interval. Decoding method and apparatus are also provided.

    摘要: A sequence of point clouds is encoded as a video by an encoder and transmitted to a decoder which retrieves the sequence of point clouds. Visible points of a point cloud are iteratively projected on projection maps according to at least two centers of projection, to determine a patch data item lists. One of the centers of projection is selected and corresponding image patches are generated and packed into a picture. Pictures and associated patch data item list are encoded in a stream. The decoding method decodes pictures and associated patch data item lists. Pixels of image patches comprised in pictures are un-projected according to data stored in associated patches. The methods have the advantage of encoding every point of point clouds in a manner avoiding artifacts and allowing decoding at video frame rate.
