A method compresses a point cloud composed of a plurality of points in a three-dimensional (3D) space by first acquiring the point cloud with a sensor, wherein each point is associated with a 3D coordinate and at least one attribute. The point cloud is partitioned into an array of 3D blocks of elements, wherein some of the elements in the 3D blocks have missing points. For each 3D block, attribute values for the 3D block are predicted based on the attribute values of neighboring 3D blocks, resulting in a 3D residual block. A 3D transform is applied to each 3D residual block using locations of occupied elements to produce transform coefficients, wherein the transform coefficients have a magnitude and sign. The transform coefficients are entropy encoded according the magnitudes and sign bits to produce a bitstream.

A method for reconstructing 3D surface structure of an object uses a two stage approach. In the first stage, a first set of images is obtained, and a spatial coding technique, such as a random grid, is used for correspondence mapping of coordinates from a first image to a second image of an object, and the images are obtained at different angles with respect to the object. In the second stage, a second structured illumination, typically comprising a striped grid, is used to obtain a second set of images, typically comprising two further images of the object. The mapping provided by the first stage provides proper labeling of the grid between these two images of the second set, and enables accurate matching of elements between these images. Triangulation or epipole methods can then be used for obtaining the 3D coordinates of the surface being reconstructed.
