Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data compression methods for three-dimensional and higher-dimensional data result in low compression ratios, leading to inefficient use of storage resources and communication bandwidth.

Innovation Solution

Perform dimension-reduced compression by using multidimensional data as position information and value information, combined with data form configurations, quantization, and projection modes to enhance compression efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of substance

If traditional compression methods are used on three-dimensional and higher-dimensional data, then the data can be compressed, but the compression ratio is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata sizeVSAvoidcompression ratio
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms P-dimensional data into Q-dimensional data where Q < P, effectively reducing the dimensionality of the data structure. This dimensional reduction allows the compression system to handle high-dimensional data (such as 3D point cloud data) by projecting it into lower-dimensional space, thereby achieving significantly improved compression ratios while maintaining essential data characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of substance

If data is compressed to save storage resources, then storage efficiency improves, but communication efficiency may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage resource usageVSAvoidcommunication efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes key parameters including dimensionality (from P to Q), data representation format (using position-value pairs), and compression granularity. These parameter changes enable the system to achieve both reduced storage requirements and improved communication efficiency by transmitting only essential compressed data rather than full-dimensional data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If dimension-reduced compression is performed, then storage and communication efficiency improve, but data representation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication efficiencyVSAvoiddata representation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments P-dimensional data into position information (Q-dimensional coordinates) and value information (remaining P-Q dimensional attributes). This segmentation allows the complex high-dimensional data to be processed and transmitted as separate, more manageable components, reducing the overall complexity of data representation while maintaining compression efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

This application provides a data compression and transmission method and an apparatus. The method includes: A first communication apparatus performs compression processing on P-dimensional first data, to obtain Q-dimensional second data, where P is an integer greater than 1, and Q is less than P. The first communication apparatus sends the second data to a second communication apparatus, and may use Q-dimensional data in the first data as position information and remaining (P−Q)-dimensional data as value information, to obtain the second data based on the position information and the value information. In this way, efficient data compression is implemented.
