==METHOD AND APPARATUS OF ENCODING/DECODING POINT CLOUD GEOMETRY DATA CAPTURED BY A SPINNING SENSORS HEAD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18553816 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS OF ENCODING/DECODING POINT CLOUD GEOMETRY DATA CAPTURED BY A SPINNING SENSORS HEAD

**Simplified Explanation:**
The patent application describes methods and apparatus for encoding and decoding a point cloud representing a physical object, where each point in the cloud is associated with a residual radius. This residual radius is the difference between the actual radius of the point from a reference point and a predicted radius.

**Key Features and Innovation:**
* Encoding and decoding of the sign of the residual radius based on previously encoded non-zero residual radii.
* Utilization of entropy encoding to efficiently represent the data.
* Prediction of the radius of each point in the point cloud.

**Potential Applications:**
* 3D modeling and visualization.
* Augmented reality applications.
* Autonomous navigation systems.
* Robotics and automation.

**Problems Solved:**
* Efficient encoding and decoding of point cloud data.
* Accurate representation of physical objects in a digital format.
* Reduction of data storage requirements.

**Benefits:**
* Improved data compression.
* Enhanced accuracy in representing physical objects.
* Increased efficiency in data processing.

**Commercial Applications:**
* "Efficient Point Cloud Encoding and Decoding Technology for 3D Modeling and Visualization"

**Prior Art:**
No prior art information available at this time.

**Frequently Updated Research:**
No frequently updated research relevant to this technology at this time.

**Questions about Point Cloud Encoding and Decoding:**
1. How does this technology improve data compression compared to existing methods?
2. What are the potential limitations of using entropy encoding for point cloud data?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

There is provided methods and apparatus of encoding/decoding a point cloud representing a physical object, each point of the point cloud being associated with a residual radius between a radius responsive to a distance of the point from a referential and a predicted radius. The method entropy encodes/decodes the sign of the residual radius associated with a current point of the point cloud based on the sign of a previously entropy encoded/decoded non-zero residual radius associated with a previous point.
