Abstract

A point-cloud decoding device 200 according to the present invention includes: a geometry information decoding unit 2010 configured to decode a flag that controls whether to apply “Implicit QtBt” or not; and an attribute-information decoding unit 2060 configured to decode a flag that controls whether to apply “scalable lifting” or not; wherein, a restriction is set not to apply the “scalable lifting” when the “Implicit QtBt” is applied.

Claims (13)

1. A point-cloud decoding device comprising:

a geometry information decoder that decodes a flag that controls whether to apply a method in which octree, quadtree, and binary tree division is adaptively carried out or not; and

an attribute-information decoder that decodes a flag that controls whether to apply “scalable lifting” or not; wherein,

a restriction is set not to apply the “scalable lifting” when the method is applied.

2. The point-cloud decoding device according to claim 1 , wherein “Octree” is applied when the “scalable lifting” is applied.

3. A point-cloud decoding method comprising:

decoding a flag that controls whether to apply a method in which octree, quadtree, and binary tree division is adaptively carried out or not; and

decoding a flag that controls whether to apply “scalable lifting” or not; wherein,

a restriction is set not to apply the “scalable lifting” when the method is applied.

4. A program stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that causes a point-cloud decoding device to execute:

decoding a flag that controls whether to apply a method in which octree, quadtree, and binary tree division is adaptively carried out or not; and

decoding a flag that controls whether to apply “scalable lifting” or not; wherein,

a restriction is set not to apply the “scalable lifting” when the method is applied.
