Methods and devices for on-the-fly coder mapping updates in point cloud coding

Abstract:

Methods and systems for encoding and decoding data, such as point cloud data. The methods may include using a coder map to map a range of discrete dependency states to a smaller set of binary coders each having an associated coding probability. The selection of one of the discrete dependency states may be based on a contextual or situational factors, which may include a prediction process, for a particular symbol, such as an occupancy bit. The coder map is updated after each symbol is coded to possibly alter to which binary coder the selected discrete dependency state maps.
