Abstract

Disclosed herein is a point cloud data transmission method. The transmission method may include encoding the point cloud data, encapsulating the point cloud data, and transmitting point cloud data. Disclosed herein is a point cloud data reception device. The reception device may include 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 (46)

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

a receiver configured to receive a file including point cloud data;

a decapsulator configured to decapsulate the file, wherein the decapsulator is configured to parse one or more tracks in the file, wherein the one or more tracks include 3D region information for track groups for the point cloud data; and

a decoder configured to decode the point cloud data,

wherein the 3D region information includes a number of atlas tiles associated with a 3D region for the point cloud data and an identifier for each atlas tile associated with the 3D region,

wherein the 3D region information further includes identification information related to the track groups associated with the 3D region, and

wherein the one or more tracks further include spatial region information with a sample entry type representing that the spatial region information dynamically changes over time.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the track groups include a same track group identifier.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein the 3D region information further includes:

information representing a number of track groups associated with a 2D region for the point cloud data; and

information identifying a track group for tracks carrying point cloud data associated with the 2D region.

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

receiving a file including point cloud data;

decapsulating the file, wherein decapsulating the file includes parsing one or more tracks in the file, wherein the one or more tracks includes 3D region information for track groups for the point cloud data; and

decoding the point cloud data,

wherein the 3D region information includes a number of atlas tiles associated with a 3D region for the point cloud data and an identifier for each atlas tile associated with the 3D region,

wherein the 3D region information further includes identification information related to the track groups associated with the 3D region, and

wherein, in response to a value of a sample entry type for the 3D region information, the 3D region information dynamically change over time.

5. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein the track groups include a same track group identifier.

6. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein the 3D region information further includes:

information representing a number of track groups associated with a 2D region for the point cloud data; and

information identifying a track group for tracks carrying point cloud data associated with the 2D region.

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

encoding point cloud data;

encapsulating the point cloud data in a file, wherein the file includes one or more tracks for the point cloud data, wherein the one or more tracks include 3D region information for track groups for the point cloud data; and

transmitting the point cloud data,

wherein the 3D region information includes a number of atlas tiles associated with a 3D region for the point cloud data and an identifier for each atlas tile associated with the 3D region,

wherein the 3D region information further includes identification information related to the track groups associated with the 3D region, and

wherein the one or more tracks further include spatial region information with a sample entry type representing that the spatial region information dynamically changes over time.

8. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the track groups include a same track group identifier.

9. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the 3D region information further includes:

information representing a number of track groups associated with a 2D region for the point cloud data; and

information identifying a track group for tracks carrying point cloud data associated with the 2D region.

10. 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 in a file, wherein the file includes one or more tracks for the point cloud data, wherein the one or more tracks include 3D region information for track groups for the point cloud data; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the point cloud data,

wherein the 3D region information includes a number of atlas tiles associated with a 3D region for the point cloud data and an identifier for each atlas tile associated with the 3D region,

wherein the 3D region information further includes identification information related to the track groups associated with the 3D region, and

wherein the one or more tracks further include spatial region information with a sample entry type representing that the spatial region information dynamically changes over time.
