Abstract
According to an aspect of an embodiment, operations may comprise receiving a search query for points near a query-point, accessing a compressed octree representation of a point cloud comprising 3D points of a region, and traversing the compressed octree representation to identify regions that overlap a search space by, marking a current node as overlapping the search space responsive to determining that the current node is a leaf node, identifying a child node of the current node and performing a nearest neighbor search in the child node responsive to determining that a region represented by the current node overlaps the search space, and identifying a sibling node of the current node and performing the nearest neighbor search in the sibling node responsive to determining that a region represented by the current node does not overlap the search space.
