Abstract
A method for point cloud compression of an intelligent cooperative perception (iCOOPER) for autonomous air vehicles (AAVs) includes: receiving a sequence of consecutive point clouds; identifying a key point cloud (K-frame) from the sequence of consecutive point clouds; transforming each of the other consecutive point clouds (P-frames) to have the same coordinate system as the K-frame; converting each of the K-frame and P-frames into a corresponding range image; spatially encoding the range image of the K-frame by fitting planes; and temporally encoding each of the range images of the P-frames using the fitting planes.
