    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.

    Abstract: Methods and device for encoding/decoding data representative of a 3D scene. First data representative of texture of the 3D scene visible from a first viewpoint is encoded into first tracks. The first data is arranged in first tiles of a first frame. Second data representative of depth associated with points of the 3D scene is encoded into second tracks. The second data is arranged in second tiles of a second frame, the total number of second tiles being greater than the total number of first tiles. Instructions to extract at least a part of the first data and second data from at least a part of the at least a first track and at least a second track are further encoded into one or more third tracks.

    Abstract: Methods and devices are provided to encode and decode a data stream carrying data representative of a three-dimensional scene, the data stream comprising color pictures packed in a color image; depth pictures packed in a depth image; and a set of patch data items comprising de-projection data; data for retrieving a color picture in the color image and geometry data. Two types of geometry data are possible. The first type of data describes how to retrieve a depth picture in the depth image. The second type of data comprises an identifier of a 3D mesh. Vertex coordinates and faces of this mesh are used to retrieve the location of points in the de-projected scene.
