METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE STREAMING OF POINT CLOUDS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323243 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE STREAMING OF POINT CLOUDS

The patent application is focused on adaptive streaming of V-PCC (Video-based Point Cloud Compression) data using an adaptive HTTP streaming protocol like MPEG DASH.

  • Signaling the point cloud data in a DASH MPD with a main adaptation set for the point cloud and a plurality of component adaptation sets for V-PCC components.
  • Including unique values in the attributes to signify V-PCC data and transmitting the DASH bitstream over the network.
      1. Potential Applications:

This technology can be applied in video streaming services, virtual reality applications, augmented reality experiences, and 3D modeling software.

      1. Problems Solved:

The technology addresses the challenges of efficiently streaming and compressing large point cloud data, ensuring a smooth and adaptive viewing experience for users.

      1. Benefits:
