PREDICTIVE GEOMETRY CODING IN G-PCC

Abstract:

An example method of encoding a point cloud includes obtaining a value of a secondary residual for geometry coding a current predictive tree node of the point cloud; and encoding the value of the secondary residual, wherein encoding the value comprises: encoding, using a first set of context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) contexts, prefix bins of a syntax element having a value that specifies an absolute value of the value of the secondary residual minus 2; and encoding, using a second set of CABAC contexts that is different than the first set of contexts, suffix bins of the syntax element.
