PLANAR AND DIRECT MODE SIGNALING IN G-PCC - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17933953 titled 'PLANAR AND DIRECT MODE SIGNALING IN G-PCC
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for encoding point cloud data.
- The method includes signaling whether planar mode is disabled or angular mode is enabled for a current node.
- If planar mode is disabled when angular mode is enabled, the values for planar mode are not signaled for the current node.
- The current node is encoded in a mode other than the planar mode.
Potential Applications
- Point cloud data compression
- 3D modeling and visualization
- Augmented reality and virtual reality applications
Problems Solved
- Efficient encoding of point cloud data
- Reducing the amount of signaling required for encoding
- Improving compression ratios for point cloud data
Benefits
- Improved efficiency in encoding and decoding point cloud data
- Reduced storage and bandwidth requirements
- Faster transmission and processing of point cloud data
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of encoding point cloud data includes signaling at least one of: a first syntax element indicating that planar mode is disabled for a current node when angular mode is enabled; or a second syntax element indicating that angular mode is enabled for the current node; bypassing signaling of values for a planar mode for the current node in a condition where the first syntax element indicates that the planar mode is disabled for the current node when the angular mode is enabled, or in a condition where the second syntax element indicates that the angular mode is enabled for the current node; and encoding the current node in a mode other than the planar mode.
