Hierarchical Prior-based Super Resolution for Point Cloud Geometry Compression
Dingquan Li, Kede Ma, Jing Wang, Ge Li
The Geometry-based Point Cloud Compression (G-PCC) has been developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group to compress point clouds. In its lossy mode, the reconstructed point cloud by G-PCC often suffers from noticeable distortions due to the na\"{i}ve geometry quantization (i.e., grid downsampling). This paper proposes a hierarchical prior-based super resolution method for point cloud geometry compression. The content-dependent hierarchical prior is constructed at the encoder side, which enables coarse-to-fine super resolution of the point cloud geometry at the decoder side. A more accurate prior generally yields improved reconstruction performance, at the cost of increased bits required to encode this side information. With a proper balance between prior accuracy and bit consumption, the proposed method demonstrates substantial Bjontegaard-delta bitrate savings on the MPEG Cat1A dataset, surpassing the octree-based and trisoup-based G-PCC v14. We provide our implementations for reproducible research at https://github.com/lidq92/mpeg-pcc-tmc13.
