Abstract
Point clouds have been attracting more and more attentions due to its capability of representing objects precisely, such as autonomous vehicle navigation, VR/AR, cultural heritage protection, etc. However, the enormous amount of data carried in point clouds presents significant challenges for transmission and storage. To solve this problem, this dissertation presents a point cloud compression framework based on the combination of interlayer residual and IRN concatenated residual. This paper deployed upsampling design after downsampled point cloud data. It calculates the residuals among point cloud data through downsampling and upsampling processes, consequently, maintains accuracy and reduces errors within the downsampling process. In addition, a novel Inception ResNet-Concatenated Residual Module is designed for maintaining the spatial correlation between layers and blocks. At the same time, it can extract the global and detailed features within point cloud data. Besides, Attention Module is dedicated to enhance the focus on salient features. Respectively compared with the traditional (G-PCC) and the learning point cloud compression method (PCGC v2), this paper lists a series of solid experiments data proving a 70% to 90% and a 6% to 9% BD-Rate gains on 8iVFB and Owlii datasets.
期刊介绍:
Graphical Models is recognized internationally as a highly rated, top tier journal and is focused on the creation, geometric processing, animation, and visualization of graphical models and on their applications in engineering, science, culture, and entertainment. GMOD provides its readers with thoroughly reviewed and carefully selected papers that disseminate exciting innovations, that teach rigorous theoretical foundations, that propose robust and efficient solutions, or that describe ambitious systems or applications in a variety of topics.
We invite papers in five categories: research (contributions of novel theoretical or practical approaches or solutions), survey (opinionated views of the state-of-the-art and challenges in a specific topic), system (the architecture and implementation details of an innovative architecture for a complete system that supports model/animation design, acquisition, analysis, visualization?), application (description of a novel application of know techniques and evaluation of its impact), or lecture (an elegant and inspiring perspective on previously published results that clarifies them and teaches them in a new way).
GMOD offers its authors an accelerated review, feedback from experts in the field, immediate online publication of accepted papers, no restriction on color and length (when justified by the content) in the online version, and a broad promotion of published papers. A prestigious group of editors selected from among the premier international researchers in their fields oversees the review process.
