Abstract

An information processing device and method are capable of inhibiting an increase in the load of a reproduction process. First information about a change in a relationship of a point cloud expressing an object having a three-dimensional shape for three-dimensional spatial regions that are independently decodable is generated, second information about the three-dimensional spatial regions is generated in accordance with the first information, and a file storing a bit stream of encoded data acquired by encoding the point cloud, the first information, and the second information is generated. In addition, the first information stored in the file is referred to, and, in a case in which the relationship described above is static, data of tiles composing the three-dimensional spatial regions constructing a point cloud is extracted on the basis of the second information, and the data is decoded.

Claims (25)

1 . An information processing device comprising:

circuitry configured to:

refer to first information about a change in a relationship of a point cloud for three-dimensional spatial regions that are independently decodable, which is stored in a file in which a bit stream of encoded data acquired by encoding the point cloud expressing an object having a three-dimensional shape is stored, and

in a case in which the first information indicates that the relationship of the point cloud is static:

generate second information about the three-dimensional spatial regions, and

extract data of tiles composing the three-dimensional spatial regions constructing the point cloud based on the second information about the three-dimensional spatial regions; and

a decoder configured to decode the extracted data,

wherein the first information is information indicating whether or not a correspondence relation between each of the three-dimensional spatial regions and information used for acquiring a respective one of the tiles is static,

wherein, based on at least some of the three-dimensional spatial regions being dynamic, the second information includes information representing a number of the three-dimensional spatial regions which are static and does not include information representing the correspondence relation for the three-dimensional spatial regions which are static, and

wherein the circuitry extracts the data of the tiles from the file based on information about the three-dimensional spatial regions that are dynamic and the second information.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the relationship further includes a positional relation in a three-dimensional space between the three-dimensional spatial regions,

wherein the second information is static information representing a range in which the three-dimensional spatial regions are able to be present,

wherein the extraction circuitry specifies the three-dimensional spatial regions constructing the point cloud based on the information, which is static, representing the range in which the three-dimensional spatial regions are able to be present.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the second information about the three-dimensional spatial regions further includes a correspondence relation between the three-dimensional spatial regions and the information used for acquiring the tiles, which is static, and

wherein the circuitry extracts the data of the tiles composing the three-dimensional spatial regions specified based on the static information representing the range in which the three-dimensional spatial regions are able to be present based on the second information about the three-dimensional spatial regions from the file.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the information used for acquiring the tiles is-comprises identification information of the tiles.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the information used for acquiring the tiles comprises is-identification information of tracks storing the data of the tiles in the file.

6 . An information processing method performed by an information processing device, the information processing method comprising:

referring to first information about a change in a relationship of a point cloud for three-dimensional spatial regions that are independently decodable, which is stored in a file in which a bit stream of encoded data acquired by encoding the point cloud expressing an object having a three-dimensional shape is stored, and, in a case in which the relationship of the point cloud, is static, extracting data of tiles composing the three-dimensional spatial regions constructing the point cloud based on second information about the three-dimensional spatial regions generated in accordance with the first information; and

decoding the extracted data,

wherein the first information is information indicating whether or not a correspondence relation between each of the three-dimensional spatial regions and information used for acquiring a respective one of the tiles is static,

wherein, based on at least some of the three-dimensional spatial regions being dynamic, the second information includes information representing a number of the three-dimensional spatial regions which are static and does not include information representing the correspondence relation for the three-dimensional spatial regions which are static, and

wherein the method further comprises extracting the data of the tiles from the file based on information about the three-dimensional spatial regions that are dynamic and the second information.
