    Abstract: A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute 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, an encoder applies an attribute transfer function to attributes of an image based representation with out-of-loop smoothing such that a decoder may apply any smoothing filter supported by the decoder without being restricted to using a similar smoothing filter as the encoder.
