Abstract

Disclosed herein is a point cloud data transmission method. The point cloud data transmission method may include encoding point cloud data, encapsulating a bitstream that includes the encoded point cloud data into a file, and transmitting the file, the bitstream is stored in one or more tracks of the file, the file further includes signaling data, the point cloud data is composed of one or more objects, and the signaling data includes at least one parameter set and information for partial access of the point cloud data.

Claims (62)

1. A point cloud data transmission method comprising:

encoding point cloud data;

encapsulating a bitstream that includes the encoded point cloud data into a file; and

transmitting the file,

wherein the bitstream is stored in one or more tracks of the file,

wherein the file further includes signaling data,

wherein the point cloud data is composed of one or more objects,

wherein the signaling data includes at least one parameter set and information for partial access of the point cloud data,

wherein the one or more objects are associated with one or more atlas tiles,

wherein the one or more atlas tiles constitute an atlas frame,

wherein the information for partial access includes mapping information between the one or more objects and the one or more atlas tiles, and

wherein the mapping information includes object index information for identifying each of the one or more objects, number information for identifying a number of atlas tiles associated for an object indicated by the object index information, and atlas identification information for identifying each of the atlas tiles associated with the object.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the point cloud data includes geometry data, attribute data, and occupancy map data that are encoded by a video-based coding scheme.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the information for partial access is at least one of static information that does not change over time or dynamic information that dynamically changes over time.

4. A point cloud data transmission apparatus comprising:

an encoder to encode point cloud data;

an encapsulator to encapsulate a bitstream that includes the encoded point cloud data into a file; and

a transmitter to transmit the file,

wherein the bitstream is stored in one or more tracks of the file,

wherein the file further includes signaling data,

wherein the point cloud data is composed of one or more objects,

wherein the signaling data includes at least one parameter set and information for partial access of the point cloud data,

wherein the one or more objects are associated with one or more atlas tiles,

wherein the one or more atlas tiles constitute an atlas frame,

wherein the information for partial access includes mapping information between the one or more objects and the one or more atlas tiles, and

wherein the mapping information includes object index information for identifying each of the one or more objects, number information for identifying a number of atlas tiles associated for an object indicated by the object index information, and atlas identification information for identifying each of the atlas tiles associated with the object.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 ,

wherein the point cloud data includes geometry data, attribute data, and occupancy map data that are encoded by a video-based coding scheme.

6. The apparatus of claim 4 ,

wherein the information for partial access is at least one of static information that does not change over time or dynamic information that dynamically changes over time.

7. A point cloud data reception method comprising:

receiving a file;

decapsulating the file into a bitstream that includes point cloud data, wherein the bitstream is stored in one or more tracks of the file and wherein the file further includes signaling data;

decoding all or a part of the point cloud data based on the signaling data; and

rendering all or a part of the decoded point cloud data based on the signaling data,

wherein the point cloud data is composed of one or more objects,

wherein the signaling data includes at least one parameter set and information for partial access of the point cloud data,

wherein the one or more objects are associated with one or more atlas tiles,

wherein the one or more atlas tiles constitute an atlas frame,

wherein the information for partial access includes mapping information between the one or more objects and the one or more atlas tiles, and

wherein the mapping information includes object index information for identifying each of the one or more objects, number information for identifying a number of atlas tiles associated for an object indicated by the object index information, and atlas identification information for identifying each of the atlas tiles associated with the object.

8. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the point cloud data includes geometry data, attribute data, and occupancy map data that are decoded by a video-based coding scheme.

9. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the information for partial access is at least one of static information that does not change over time or dynamic information that dynamically changes over time.

10. A point cloud data reception apparatus comprising:

a receiver to receive a file;

a decapsulator to decapsulate the file into a bitstream that includes point cloud data, wherein the bitstream is stored in one or more tracks of the file and wherein the file further includes signaling data;

a decoder to decode all or a part of the point cloud data based on the signaling data; and

a renderer to render all or a part of the decoded point cloud data based on the signaling data,

wherein the point cloud data is composed of one or more objects,

wherein the signaling data includes at least one parameter set and information for partial access of the point cloud data,

wherein the one or more objects are associated with one or more atlas tiles,

wherein the one or more atlas tiles constitute an atlas frame,

wherein the information for partial access includes mapping information between the one or more objects and the one or more atlas tiles, and

wherein the mapping information includes object index information for identifying each of the one or more objects, number information for identifying a number of atlas tiles associated for an object indicated by the object index information, and atlas identification information for identifying each of the atlas tiles associated with the object.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 ,

wherein the point cloud data includes geometry data, attribute data, and occupancy map data that are decoded by a video-based coding scheme.

12. The apparatus of claim 10 ,

wherein the information for partial access is at least one of static information that does not change over time or dynamic information that dynamically changes over time.
