Abstract

Disclosed herein is a point cloud data transmission method including encoding the point cloud data, encapsulating the point cloud data, and transmitting point cloud data. Disclosed herein is a point cloud data reception device including a receiver configured to receive the point cloud data, a decapsulator configured to decapsulate the point cloud data, and a decoder configured to decode the point cloud data.

Claims (54)

1. A method for transmitting point cloud data, the method comprising:

encoding point cloud data;

encapsulating the point cloud data based on a container of a multi-track including the point cloud data,

wherein the multi-track includes component tracks including an occupancy map of the point cloud data, geometry data of the point cloud data, and attribute data of the point cloud data,

wherein the multi-track further includes a track including atlas data comprising parameter information for the point cloud data,

wherein the track further includes spatial region information for partial access of a spatial region for the point cloud data,

wherein the spatial region information includes a 3D spatial region structure including an identifier of a 3D region for the point cloud data, an anchor point of the 3D region, and dimension information in coordinates along x, y, and z axes related to the 3D region, and

wherein the spatial region information further includes information representing a number of atlas tiles associated with the spatial region of the point cloud data and tile identifier information for identifying the atlas tiles; and

transmitting the point cloud data.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the container is generated based on a media file format.

3. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the track for the atlas data includes reference information for referencing the occupancy map, the geometry data, and the attribute data.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the spatial region information includes static information or dynamic information over a time.

5. An apparatus for receiving point cloud data, the apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to receive point cloud data;

a decapsulator configured to decapsulate the point cloud data based on a container of a multi-track including the point cloud data,

wherein the multi-track includes component tracks including an occupancy map of the point cloud data, geometry data of the point cloud data, and attribute data of the point cloud data,

wherein the multi-track further includes a track including atlas data comprising parameter information for the point cloud data,

wherein the track further includes spatial region information for partial access of a spatial region for the point cloud data,

wherein the spatial region information includes a 3D spatial region structure including an identifier of a 3D region for the point cloud data, an anchor point of the 3D region, and dimension information in coordinates along x, y, and z axes related to the 3D region, and

wherein the spatial region information further includes information representing a number of atlas tiles associated with the spatial region of the point cloud data and tile identifier information for identifying the atlas tiles; and

a decoder configured to decode the point cloud data.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 ,

wherein the container includes a media file format.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 ,

wherein the track for the atlas data includes reference information for referencing the occupancy map, the geometry data, and the attribute data.

8. The apparatus of claim 5 ,

wherein the spatial region information includes static information or dynamic information over a time.

9. A method for receiving point cloud data, the method comprising:

receiving point cloud data;

decapsulating the point cloud data based on a container of a multi-track including the point cloud data,

wherein the multi-track includes component tracks including an occupancy map of the point cloud data, geometry data of the point cloud data, and attribute data of the point cloud data,

wherein the multi-track further includes a track including atlas data comprising parameter information for the point cloud data,

wherein the track further includes spatial region information for partial access of a spatial region for the point cloud data,

wherein the spatial region information includes a 3D spatial region structure including an identifier of a 3D region for the point cloud data, an anchor point of the 3D region, and dimension information in coordinates along x, y, and z axes related to the 3D region,

wherein the spatial region information further includes information representing a number of atlas tiles associated with the spatial region of the point cloud data and tile identifier information for identifying the atlas tiles; and

decoding the point cloud data.

10. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the container includes a media file format.

11. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the track for the atlas data includes reference information for referencing the occupancy map, the geometry data, and the attribute data.

12. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the spatial region information includes static information or dynamic information over a time.

13. An apparatus for transmitting point cloud data, the apparatus comprising:

an encoder configured to encode point cloud data;

an encapsulator configured to encapsulate the point cloud data based on a container of a multi-track including the point cloud data,

wherein the multi-track includes component tracks including an occupancy map of the point cloud data, geometry data of the point cloud data, and attribute data of the point cloud data,

wherein the multi-track further includes a track including atlas data comprising parameter information for the point cloud data,

wherein the track further includes spatial region information for partial access of a 3D spatial region for the point cloud data,

wherein the spatial region information includes a 3D spatial region structure including an identifier of a 3D region for the point cloud data, an anchor point of the 3D region, and dimension information in coordinates along x, y, and z axes related to the 3D region, and

wherein the spatial region information further includes information representing a number of atlas tiles associated with the spatial region of the point cloud data and tile identifier information for identifying the atlas tiles; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the point cloud data.
