Abstract
Methods and device for encoding/decoding data representative of depth of a 3D scene. The depth data are quantized in a range of quantized depth values larger than a range of encoding values allowed by a determined encoding bit depth. For blocks of pixels comprising the depth data, a first set of candidate quantization parameters is determined. A second set of quantization parameters is determined as a subset of the union of the first sets. The second set comprising candidate quantization parameters common to a plurality of blocks. One or more quantization parameters of the second set being associated with each block of pixels of the picture. The second set of quantization parameters is encoded, and the quantized depth values are encoded according to the quantization parameters.
