Abstract
A method for encoding a point cloud to generate a bitstream of compressed point cloud data is provided. The point cloud's geometry is represented by an octree-based structure with a plurality of nodes having parent-child relationships by recursively splitting a volumetric space containing the point cloud into sub-volumes each associated with a node of the octree-based structure. The method includes: determining a coding mode, wherein the coding mode includes a planar coding mode and an angular coding mode; obtaining coding context information for a present child node, entropy encoding the present child node based on the obtained coding context information to produce encoded data for the bitstream.
