Abstract

Disclosed herein are a point cloud data transmission method including encoding point cloud data, and transmitting point cloud data, and a point cloud data reception method including receiving point cloud data, decoding the point cloud data, and rendering the point cloud data.

Claims (44)

1. A method of encoding point cloud data, the method comprising:

encoding the point cloud data;

encapsulating a file including video component tracks carrying the point cloud data and a track for a plurality of atlas data of the point cloud data; and

transmitting the file,

wherein a first sample entry of the file includes an atlas identifier of atlas data for the point cloud data and parameter set information for the atlas data,

wherein a second sample entry of the file includes identifier information related to an atlas tile, and number information related to a number of atlas tiles,

wherein the plurality of the atlas data are grouped based on a grouping type,

wherein one or more video component tracks related to a specific atlas identifier are grouped among the video component tracks, and

wherein the file further includes a timed metadata track for spatial regions that are dynamic in the point cloud data including information for a number of spatial regions.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the identifier information represents that the atlas data includes one or more atlas tiles for the point cloud data.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable digital storage medium storing a bitstream generated by a point cloud encoding method, the method comprising:

encoding point cloud data;

encapsulating a file including video component tracks carrying the point cloud data and a track for a plurality of atlas data of the point cloud data; and

transmitting the file,

wherein a first sample entry of the file includes an atlas identifier of atlas data for the point cloud data and parameter set information for the atlas data,

wherein a second sample entry of the file includes identifier information related to an atlas tile, and number information related to a number of atlas tiles,

wherein the plurality of the atlas data are grouped based on a grouping type,

wherein one or more video component tracks related to a specific atlas identifier are grouped among the video component tracks, and

wherein the file further includes a timed metadata track for spatial regions that are dynamic in the point cloud data including information for a number of spatial regions.

4. A method of decoding point cloud data, the method comprising:

receiving a file including video component tracks carrying point cloud data and a track for a plurality of atlas data of the point cloud data;

decapsulating the file; and

decoding the point cloud data,

wherein a first sample entry of the file includes an atlas identifier of atlas data for the point cloud data and parameter set information for the atlas data,

wherein a second sample entry of the file includes identifier information related to an atlas tile, and number information related to a number of atlas tiles,

wherein the plurality of the atlas data are grouped based on a grouping type,

wherein one or more video component tracks related to a specific atlas identifier are grouped among the video component tracks, and

wherein the file further includes a timed metadata track for spatial regions that are dynamic in the point cloud data including information for a number of spatial regions.

5. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein the identifier information represents that the atlas data includes one or more atlas tiles for the point cloud data.

6. An apparatus configured to decode point cloud data, the apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a file including video component tracks carrying point cloud data and a track for a plurality of atlas data of the point cloud data;

decapsulate the file; and

decode the point cloud data,

wherein a first sample entry of the file includes an atlas identifier of atlas data for the point cloud data and parameter set information for the atlas data,

wherein a second sample entry of the file includes identifier information related to an atlas tile, and number information related to a number of atlas tiles,

wherein the plurality of the atlas data are grouped based on a grouping type,

wherein one or more video component tracks related to a specific atlas identifier are grouped among the video component tracks, and

wherein the file further includes a timed metadata track for spatial regions that are dynamic in the point cloud data including information for a number of spatial regions.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 ,

wherein the identifier information represents that the atlas data includes one or more atlas tiles for the point cloud data.
