    摘要: A method of encoding point cloud data using a planar coding mode is disclosed. The planar coding mode may be signaled using a planar mode flag to signal that a current volume is planar. A volume is planar if all of its occupied child nodes are on one side of a plane bisecting the volume. A planar position flag may signal which side of the volume is occupied. Volume data for already-coded occupied volumes of the point cloud is tracked using a data structure stored in memory. Entropy coding may be used to code the planar mode flag and/or the planar position flag. Context determination for coding may take into account a distance between the volume and a closest already-coded occupied volume among those tracked already-coded occupied volumes that have a same index in the data structure as the current volume.

    摘要: Methods and devices for encoding a point cloud. A current node associated with a sub-volume is split into further sub-volumes, each further sub-volume corresponding to a child node of the current node, and, at the encoder, an occupancy pattern is determined for the current node based on occupancy status of the child nodes. A probability distribution is selected from among a plurality of probability distributions based on occupancy data for a plurality of nodes neighbouring the current node. The encoder entropy encodes the occupancy pattern based on the selected probability distribution to produce encoded data for the bitstream and updates the selected probability distribution. The decoder makes the same selection based on occupancy data for neighbouring nodes and entropy decodes the bitstream to reconstruct the occupancy pattern.

    摘要: The present disclosure concerns a method for reconstructing a point cloud representing a 3D object from an inverse-projected point cloud obtained by inverse-projecting at least one depth image of an original point cloud, said at least one depth image being obtained by projecting points of the original point cloud onto at least one surface, said method comprising the steps of detecting at least one missing part in the inverse-projected point cloud, and completing said at least one missing part based on points in the neighborhood of said at least one missing part.

    摘要: A method of encoding or decoding a point cloud for representing a three-dimensional location of an object, the point cloud being generated by a device comprising a plurality of beam emitters. The method comprises using information from the beam emitter such as the angle of each beam emitter, and the azimuthal distance between each point capture, to more efficiently represent the point cloud data.

    摘要: An image encoding method that expresses an image using pixels or blocks, and colors assigned to the pixels or the blocks when encoding an image to be encoded, and encodes a block division tree and color information, the color information being assigned to all nodes including a root node, branch nodes, and leaf nodes of the block division tree, the method includes: a division tree generation step of dividing the image to be encoded using an arbitrary division tree and thereby generating the block division tree; a color information determination step of determining representative colors that represent interim blocks or final blocks and assigning the determined colors as color information corresponding to the respective nodes, the interim blocks or the final blocks corresponding to the nodes of the block division tree; a tree encoding step of encoding the block division tree; and a color information encoding step of encoding the color information.

    摘要: Method and devices for coding point cloud data using an angular coding mode. The angular coding mode may be signaled using in an angular mode flag to signal that a volume is to be coded using the angular coding mode. The angular coding mode is applicable to planar volumes that have all of their occupied child nodes on one side of a plane bisecting the volume. A planar position flag may signal which side of the volume is occupied. Entropy coding may be used to code the planar position flag. Context determination for coding may take into account angular information for child nodes or groups of child nodes of the volume relative to a location of a beam assembly that has sampled to point cloud. Characteristics of the beam assembly may be coded into a dedicated syntax in the bitstream.
