Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional point cloud coding techniques are used, then coding quality is maintained at a certain level, but coding bits cannot be effectively reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting the attribute prediction mode (intra vs. inter prediction) based on rate-distortion optimization. The encoder evaluates different coding parameters and selects the optimal mode for each point cloud sample, changing the coding parameters adaptively to reduce bits while maintaining quality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the attribute prediction mode dynamic rather than static. The coding mode is determined on-the-fly based on rate-distortion cost calculations, allowing the system to adapt to local variations in point cloud data characteristics and achieve optimal compression at each location
2Manufacturing precision
If attribute inter prediction is applied to all point cloud samples, then coding quality improves, but coding bits increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses parameter changes by switching between intra prediction and inter prediction modes based on rate-distortion optimization. For each point cloud sample, the encoder evaluates both modes and selects the one with lower coding cost, dynamically changing the prediction parameter to achieve the best trade-off between quality and bit rate
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by allowing different prediction modes (intra or inter) to be used for different point cloud samples or regions. Instead of applying a uniform prediction mode globally, the system optimizes the prediction mode locally for each sample based on its specific characteristics and the available reference data

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for point cloud coding. A method for point cloud coding is proposed. The method comprises: obtaining, for a conversion between a current point cloud (PC) sample of a point cloud sequence and a bitstream of the point cloud sequence, target information regarding whether an attribute inter prediction is enabled for the current PC sample, the target information being determined based on at least one of rate information or distortion information associated with coding at least one target PC sample with the attribute inter prediction, wherein the at least one target PC sample comprises at least one of: the current PC sample, or at least one PC sample of the point cloud sequence coded before the current PC sample; and performing the conversion based on the target information.
