POINT CLOUD DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD, POINT CLOUD DATA TRANSMISSION DEVICE, POINT CLOUD DATA RECEPTION METHOD, AND POINT CLOUD DATA RECEPTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18032109 titled 'POINT CLOUD DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD, POINT CLOUD DATA TRANSMISSION DEVICE, POINT CLOUD DATA RECEPTION METHOD, AND POINT CLOUD DATA RECEPTION DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and device for transmitting and receiving point cloud data. Point cloud data is encoded and transmitted as a bitstream, which is then received and decoded.

  • The method involves encoding point cloud data and transmitting it as a bitstream.
  • The device includes an encoder for encoding point cloud data and a transmitter for transmitting the encoded data.
  • The method for receiving point cloud data involves receiving a bitstream containing the data and decoding it.
  • The device for receiving point cloud data includes a receiver for receiving the bitstream and a decoder for decoding the data.

Potential Applications

  • Autonomous vehicles: Point cloud data is crucial for self-driving cars to perceive their surroundings and make informed decisions.
  • Augmented reality: Point cloud data can be used to create realistic and immersive augmented reality experiences.
  • Robotics: Point cloud data can aid robots in object recognition and navigation tasks.
  • 3D modeling and scanning: Point cloud data can be used to create accurate 3D models of objects or environments.

Problems Solved

  • Efficient data transmission: The method and device allow for the efficient encoding and transmission of point cloud data, reducing bandwidth requirements.
  • Data integrity: The encoding and decoding process ensures that the received point cloud data is accurately reconstructed.
  • Real-time processing: The method enables real-time transmission and decoding of point cloud data, allowing for immediate analysis and decision-making.

Benefits

  • Reduced bandwidth requirements: The encoding method reduces the size of the point cloud data, resulting in lower bandwidth usage during transmission.
  • Accurate data reconstruction: The decoding process ensures that the received point cloud data is accurately reconstructed, maintaining data integrity.
  • Real-time processing: The ability to transmit and decode point cloud data in real-time enables faster analysis and decision-making in various applications.
