ANGULAR MODE AND IN-TREE QUANTIZATION IN GEOMETRY POINT CLOUD COMPRESSION

Abstract:

A device for decoding a bitstream that includes point cloud data can be configured to determine, based on syntax signaled in the bitstream, that in-tree quantization is enabled for a node; determine, for the node based on the syntax signaled in the bitstream, that an angular mode is activated for the node; in response to in-tree quantization being enabled for the node, determine for the node a quantized value representing a coordinate position relative to an origin position; scale the quantized value without clipping to determine a scaled value representing the coordinate position relative to the origin position; and determine a context for context decoding a plane position syntax element for the angular mode based on the scaled value representing the coordinate position relative to the origin position.
