Abstract

A search space for performing nearest neighbor searches for encoding point cloud data may be trimmed. Ranges of a space filling curve may be used to identify search space to exclude or reuse, instead of generating nearest neighbor search results for at least some of the points of a point cloud located within some of the ranges of the space filling curve. Additionally, neighboring voxels may be searched to identify any neighboring points missed during the trimmed search based on the ranges of the space filling curve.
