Participate in Standards Development for Point Cloud Compression (IEEE P3366.1)

Introduction IEEE P3366.1 (Standard for Geometry Point Cloud Compression) aims at the standardization of point cloud compression technologies. There is a practical demand for point cloud compression standardization, especially for the transmission of high-volume volumetric data over bandwidth-constrained networks and the processing of such data on storage-constrained consumer devices. Point cloud consists of a set of 3D points with various attributes, that can be used to create and represent 3D models and environments, efficient compression is crucial for these 3D models to be utilized in multiple applications, such as Virtual Reality/Augment Reality (VR/AR), digital culture heritage, manufacturing, and autonomous driving. Developing efficient coding tools for the compression, decompression, processing, and packaging of volumetric data can significantly reduce disk storage requirements and transmission costs. The Volumetric Data Compression Working Group of IEEE Computer Society Data ... Read full article.
