Abstract
An electronic device and method for using a rate adaptive codec for dynamic point cloud compression is provided. The electronic device receives a point cloud frame (PCF) sequence that includes a set of reference PCFs and a current PCF that is to be encoded. The electronic device generates 3D feature data based on application of a neural network-based encoder on at least one of the set of reference PCFs and the current PCF. The electronic device selects from an encoding pipeline, an encoding path as an I-frame encoding path or a P-frame encoding path for the current PCF. The selected encoding path extends from an output of the neural network-based encoder and includes a first sequence of transformation operations that is applicable on the 3D feature data. The electronic device generates a bit-stream of coded PCF based on application of the first sequence of transformation operations on the 3D feature data.
