INTER-COMPONENT RESIDUAL PREDICTION FOR COLOR ATTRIBUTES IN GEOMETRY POINT CLOUD COMPRESSION CODING

Abstract:

A device for decoding encoded point cloud data can be configured to, for a point of a point cloud, determine a first color value for a first color component based on a first predicted value and a first residual value; apply a scaling factor to the first residual value to determine a predicted second residual value, wherein the scaling factor has one or both of a non-integer value or an absolute value greater than one; for the point of the point cloud, receive a second residual value in the encoded point cloud data; determine a final second residual value based on the predicted second residual value and the received second residual value; and for the point of the point cloud, determine a second color value for a second color component based on a second predicted value and the final second residual value.
