Abstract

A system receives encoded data regarding a points in a point cloud. The data includes a prediction tree having a nodes generated based on spatial information regarding the points and properties of a sensor system that obtained the spatial information. A value of each node represents first spatial coordinates of a respective one of the points according to a first coordinate system, and the value of at least a first node in the prediction tree is determined based on ancestor nodes of the first node and the properties of the sensor system. The system decodes the data to determine first data, including the first spatial coordinates of at least some of the points, and quantization parameters associated with the first spatial coordinates. The system determines second data based on the first data, including second spatial coordinates of at least some of the points according to a second coordinate system.
