Abstract
A system for point cloud data compression including a LiDAR sensor and a compression circuit. The compression circuit receives data for rays from the LiDAR sensor, wherein the data is arranged in cells which map to corresponding rays, and each cell includes a range value. The compression circuit constructs a frame for the received data and, for each cell, determines a velocity associated with the range value for the cell, determines whether to compress the frame with respect to the cell based upon the velocity; and selectively compresses the frame with respect to the cell accordingly. Also disclosed is a system including a device and a server which optionally are co-located. The device gathers data about an environment which is used to generate a point cloud.
