Abstract

A point cloud data transmission method according to embodiments may comprise the steps of: encoding point cloud data; and transmitting a bitstream including the point cloud data. A point cloud data reception method according to embodiments may comprise the steps of: receiving a bitstream including point cloud data; and decoding the point cloud data.

Claims (71)

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

encoding geometry data of point cloud data in a slice,

wherein the geometry data is adjusted based on a first offset for the slice;

encoding attribute data of the point cloud data in the slice,

wherein the attribute data is adjusted based on a second offset for the slice; and

transmitting a bitstream containing the point cloud data,

wherein the bitstream includes parameter information related to the first offset, and parameter information related to the second offset.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the point cloud data is represented by at least one of a tile, a slice, a brick, or an object, wherein the tile comprises the slice,

wherein the tile comprises a first tile and a second tile, the first and second tiles containing the point cloud data and being adjacent to or overlapping each other,

wherein the first tile containing the point cloud data comprises a first slice and a second slice, the first slice being adjacent to the second tile,

wherein the first slice and the second slice overlap each other.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the bitstream contains information indicating whether smoothing is applied to the adjacent slices,

wherein the bitstream contains information indicating whether the smoothing is applied to the adjacent tiles.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the bitstream contains:

information indicating whether geometry smoothing is performed; and

information indicating a smoothing region of a unit of application of the smoothing.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the bitstream contains information indicating a difference between the geometry data and a value obtained by applying smoothing to the geometry data.

6. A device for encoding point cloud data, comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor connected to the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:

encoding geometry data of point cloud data in a slice,

wherein the geometry data is adjusted based on a first offset for the slice;

encoding attribute data of the point cloud data in the slice,

wherein the attribute data is adjusted based on a second offset for the slice; and

transmitting a bitstream including the point cloud data,

wherein the bitstream includes parameter information related to the first offset, and parameter information related to the second offset.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein the point cloud data is represented by at least one of a tile, a slice, a brick, or an object, wherein the tile comprises the slice,

wherein the tile comprises a first tile and a second tile, the first and second tiles containing the point cloud data and being adjacent to or overlapping each other,

wherein the first tile containing the point cloud data comprises a first slice and a second slice, the first slice being adjacent to the second tile,

wherein the first slice and the second slice overlap each other.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the bitstream contains information indicating whether smoothing is applied to the adjacent slices,

wherein the bitstream contains information indicating whether the smoothing is applied to the adjacent tiles.

9. The device of claim 6 ,

wherein the bitstream contains:

information indicating whether geometry smoothing is performed; and

information indicating a smoothing region of a unit of application of the smoothing.

10. The device of claim 6 ,

wherein the bitstream contains information indicating a difference between the geometry data and a value obtained by applying smoothing to the geometry data.

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

receiving a bitstream including point cloud data;

decoding geometry data of point cloud data in a slice,

wherein the geometry data is adjusted based on a first offset for the slice; and

decoding attribute data of the point cloud data in the slice,

wherein the attribute data is adjusted based on a second offset for the slice; and

wherein the bitstream includes parameter information related to the first offset, and parameter information related to the second offset.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the point cloud data is represented by at least one of a tile, a slice, a brick, or an object, wherein the tile comprises the slice,

wherein the tile comprises a first tile and a second tile, the first and second tiles containing the point cloud data and being adjacent to or overlapping each other,

wherein the first tile containing the point cloud data comprises a first slice and a second slice, the first slice being adjacent to the second tile,

wherein the first slice and the second slice overlap each other.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the bitstream contains information indicating whether smoothing is applied to the adjacent slices,

wherein the bitstream contains information indicating whether the smoothing is applied to the adjacent tiles.

14. The method of claim 11 ,

wherein the decoding the geometry data includes:

smoothing the geometry data.

15. The method of claim 11 ,

wherein the bitstream contains information indicating a difference between the geometry data and a value obtained by applying smoothing to the geometry data.

16. A device of decoding point cloud data, the device comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor connected to the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:

receive a bitstream including point cloud data;

decode geometry data of point cloud data in a slice,

wherein the geometry data is adjusted based on a first offset for the slice; and

decode attribute data of the point cloud data in the slice,

wherein the attribute data is adjusted based on a second offset for the slice; and

wherein the bitstream includes parameter information related to the first offset, and parameter information related to the second offset.

17. The device of claim 16 , wherein the point cloud data is represented by at least one of a tile, a slice, a brick, or an object, wherein the tile comprises the slice,

wherein the tile comprises a first tile and a second tile, the first and second tiles containing the point cloud data and being adjacent to or overlapping each other,

wherein the first tile containing the point cloud data comprises a first slice and a second slice, the first slice being adjacent to the second tile,

wherein the first slice and the second slice overlap each other.
