    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A video coding mechanism is disclosed. The mechanism includes receiving a bitstream comprising a plurality of coded sequences of point cloud coding (PCC) frames. The plurality of coded sequences of PCC frames represent a plurality of PCC attributes including geometry, texture, and one or more of reflectance, transparency, and normal. Each coded PCC frame is represented by one or more PCC network abstraction layer (NAL) units. The mechanism also includes parsing the bitstream to obtain, for each PCC attribute, an indication of one of a plurality of video codecs used to code the corresponding PCC attribute. The mechanism also includes decoding the bitstream based on the indicated video codecs for the PCC attributes.

Each coded PCC frame is represented by one or more PCC network abstraction layer (NAL) units. The mechanism also includes parsing the bitstream to obtain an indication for each of the PCC NAL units that indicates whether each of the PCC NAL units belongs to a corresponding one of the PCC attributes, and to which of the PCC attributes the PCC NAL unit belongs when the PCC NAL unit belongs to the corresponding PCC attribute. The mechanism also includes decoding the bitstream based on the indications.

    摘要: 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.
