Abstract

Claims (20)

1. A point cloud decoding device, comprising:

a computer which executes a program to perform operations comprising:

decoding a first flag used to indicate whether or not to carry out inverse quantization of position information from a bit stream; and

setting a value of NodeQp to zero in a case where the first flag indicates that the inverse quantization of the position information is not carried out, the NodeQp being used as a quantization parameter for each node.

2. The point cloud decoding device according to claim 1 , wherein the operations performed by the computer further comprise skipping processing of decoding syntax regarding nodeQpOffset in the case where the first flag indicates that the inverse quantization of the position information is not carried out, the nodeQpOffset being used as an offset value of the quantization parameter for each node.

3. The point cloud decoding device according to claim 2 , wherein the operations performed by the computer further comprise decoding a second flag used to indicate whether or not a value of the nodeQpOffset used as one of the syntaxes regarding the nodeQpOffset is zero and recognizing a value of the second flag as a value indicating that the value of the nodeQpOffset is zero in a case where processing of decoding the second flag is skipped.

4. A point cloud decoding device, comprising:

a computer which executes a program to perform operations comprising:

decoding a value of NodeQp used as a quantization parameter for each node,

wherein the decoded value of the NodeQp is equal to or greater than a predetermined value or greater than the predetermined value.

5. The point cloud decoding device according to claim 4 , wherein the operations performed by the computer further comprise performing clipping processing in such a way that the value of the NodeQp is equal to or greater than the predetermined value or greater than the predetermined value after calculating the value of the NodeQp.

6. The point cloud decoding device according to claim 4 , wherein the operations performed by the computer further comprise determining that the value of the NodeQp violates a specification in a case where the value of the NodeQp is less than the predetermined value or equal to or less than the predetermined value.

7. The point cloud decoding device according to claim 4 , wherein the predetermined value is zero.

8. A point cloud decoding method executed by a computer, comprising:

decoding, by the computer, a first flag used to indicate whether or not to carry out inverse quantization of position information from a bit stream;

determining, by the computer, that the first flag indicates that the inverse quantization of the position information is not carried out; and

setting, by the computer, a value of NodeQp to zero, the NodeQp being used as a quantization parameter for each node.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that is executable by a computer to operate as a point cloud decoding device and execute operations comprising:

decoding a first flag used to indicate whether or not to carry out inverse quantization of position information from a bit stream; and

setting a value of NodeQp to zero in a case where the first flag indicates that the inverse quantization of the position information is not carried out, the NodeQp being used as a quantization parameter for each node.
