METHOD FOR ENCODING AND DECODING POINT CLOUD, THE MACHINE IS CONFIGURED TO ENCOD AND DECODE POINT CLOUD

Abstract

The machine is configured to encode a point cloud that can be configured to encode the first syntactic element indicating the number of bits used to encode one or more second syntactic elements, where one or more second syntactic elements indicate one or more of the bounding box offsets, bounding box origin points, bounding box dimensions, or the number of unique segments. The machine can encode the first syntactic element using an exponential Golomb code. The machine can also encode one or more second syntactic elements using a fixed-length code based on the number of bits indicated by the first syntactic element, and encode the point cloud based on one or more decoded second syntactic elements. The invention also proposes a method for encoding and decoding the point cloud.
