Dynamic Point Cloud Geometry Compression Using Multiscale Inter Conditional Coding
share
This work extends the Multiscale Sparse Representation (MSR) framework developed for static Point Cloud Geometry Compression (PCGC) to support the dynamic PCGC through the use of multiscale inter conditional coding. To this end, the reconstruction of the preceding Point Cloud Geometry (PCG) frame is progressively downscaled to generate multiscale temporal priors which are then scale-wise transferred and integrated with lower-scale spatial priors from the same frame to form the contextual information to improve occupancy probability approximation when processing the current PCG frame from one scale to another. Following the Common Test Conditions (CTC) defined in the standardization committee, the proposed method presents State-Of-The-Art (SOTA) compression performance, yielding 78 V-PCC and 45 recently-emerged learning-based solutions, our method still shows significant performance gains.
