Abstract
An electronic device and method for adaptive mode selection for point cloud compression, is provided. The electronic device receives a 3D point cloud geometry and partitions the 3D point cloud geometry into a set of 3D blocks. For a 3D block of the set of 3D blocks, mode decision information is determined. The mode decision information includes class information of the 3D point cloud geometry, operational conditions associated with an encoding stage of the 3D point cloud geometry, or mode-related information associated with one or more 3D blocks of the set of 3D blocks. Based on the mode decision information, one or more modes are selected for the 3D block from a plurality of modes. Each mode corresponds to a function that is used to encode the 3D block. The 3D block is encoded based on the one or more modes.
