Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies for compressing point cloud frames do not efficiently utilize global motion matrices, particularly when local motion compression is involved, leading to suboptimal compression efficiency.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a global motion matrix is applied to all point cloud data regardless of local motion compression, then the compression process is simplified, but compression efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompression process complexityVSAvoidcompression efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamic adaptation by adjusting the global motion matrix application strategy based on the presence or absence of local motion compression. When local motion compression is performed, the global motion matrix is applied to all points; when local motion compression is not performed, the global motion matrix is applied selectively only to points exhibiting global motion characteristics. This dynamic adjustment optimizes compression efficiency while adapting to different processing scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements local quality differentiation by applying the global motion matrix differently to different portions of the point cloud data based on local motion characteristics. Specifically, when local motion compression is absent, only points with global motion characteristics receive the global motion matrix application, while other points are processed differently. This localized approach improves compression efficiency by avoiding unnecessary processing steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If the global motion matrix is corrected using quantization coefficients, then compression accuracy is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the global motion matrix by applying corrections based on quantization coefficients that were used during point cloud quantization. This parameter adjustment compensates for errors introduced by quantization, thereby improving compression accuracy. The correction process adjusts the motion matrix parameters to better reflect the actual point cloud transformations, ensuring more accurate compression results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If local motion compression is always applied, then local motion details are preserved, but overall compression efficiency deteriorates due to redundant processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocal motion detail preservationVSAvoidoverall compression efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by conditionally applying local motion compression only where necessary. Instead of uniformly applying local motion compression to all point cloud data, the system selectively applies it based on the presence of local motion characteristics. This partial application approach preserves local motion details where needed while avoiding redundant processing elsewhere, thereby improving overall compression efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
