Abstract
There is provided methods and apparatus of encoding/decoding a point cloud into/from a bitstream of encoded point cloud data representing a physical object, each point of the point cloud being associated with spherical coordinates representing an azimuthal angle responsive to a capture angle of a sensor that captured the point and a radius responsive of a distance of the point from a referential. The encoding method includes adaptively quantizing a residual error azimuthal angle, derived from the azimuthal angle, based on the radius.
