    Abstract: Methods and devices are provided to encode points of a sphere onto an image by projecting them as a function of an isotropic region guided mapping operator and/or to decode pixels of an image onto a sphere by de-projected them according to the same parametrized mapping operator. A region of interest is determined on the sphere and the angular resolution of pixels of the image is modulated as a function of their distance to the reference pixel corresponding to the center of the region of interest. Chosen angular resolutions and size of the region of interest are associated with the image and encoded in a stream.

    Abstract: Generating an image from a source image can involve encoding a projection of a part of a three-dimensional scene. Pixels of a source image comprise a depth and a color attribute. Pixels of a source image are de-projected as colored point cloud. A de-projected point in a 3D space has the color attribute of the pixel that it has been de-projected from. Also, a score is attributed to the generated point according to a local depth gradient and/or a local color gradient of the pixel it comes from, the lower the gradient, the higher the score. The generated point cloud is captured by a virtual camera for rendering on a display device. The point cloud is projected onto the viewport image by blending color of points projected on a same pixel, the blending being weighted by the scores of these points.

    Abstract: Methods and device for encoding/decoding data representative of depth of a 3D scene. The depth data are quantized in a range of quantized depth values larger than a range of encoding values allowed by a determined encoding bit depth. For blocks of pixels comprising the depth data, a first set of candidate quantization parameters is determined. A second set of quantization parameters is determined as a subset of the union of the first sets. The second set comprising candidate quantization parameters common to a plurality of blocks. One or more quantization parameters of the second set being associated with each block of pixels of the picture. The second set of quantization parameters is encoded, and the quantized depth values are encoded according to the quantization parameters.

    Abstract: Encoding/decoding data representative of a 3D representation of a scene according to a range of points of view can involve generating a depth map associated with a part of the 3D representation according to a parameter representative of a two-dimensional parameterization associated with the part and data associated with a point included in the part, wherein the two-dimensional parameterization can be responsive to geometric information associated with the point and to pose information associated with the range of points of view. A texture map associated with the part can be generated according to the parameter and data associated with the point. First information representative of point density of points in a part of the part can be obtained. The depth map, texture map, parameter, and first information can be included in respective syntax elements of a bitstream.
