Original Abstract Submitted
A method of encoding a point cloud into a bitstream of encoded point cloud data representing a physical object is provided. The method includes: encoding, into the bitstream, azimuthal angle data (ϕ) representative of an azimuthal angle (ϕ(P)) responsive to a capture angle of a sensor that captured a point of the point cloud, wherein the encoding is based on a boundary value (B) that depends on sensor characteristics, and an absolute value of the azimuthal angle data (ϕ) is bounded by the boundary value.
