Abstract
Due to the ability to depict large-scale 3D scenes, point clouds acquired by the Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) devices have played an indispensable role in various fields. The growing data amount of point cloud, however, brings huge challenges to existing point cloud processing networks. Developing point cloud compression algorithms has become an active research area in recent years. Representative compression frameworks include the MPEG Geometry-based Point Cloud Compression (G-PCC) standard in which a dedicated profile is designed for spinning LiDAR point clouds. In that design, prior knowledge of the LiDAR device is used to project points to nodes in a predictive structure which better reflects the spatial correlation of LiDAR point clouds. In this paper, an analysis has been conducted to explain the observed irregular point distribution in the predictive structure. A regularized projection algorithm is then proposed to construct a reliable prediction relationship in the predictive structure. Simplified geometry prediction techniques are further proposed based on the regularized projection pattern. Experimental results show that an average BD-rate gain of 18% can be achieved with lower encoding runtime if compared with MPEG G-PCC.
