Motion estimation and filtered prediction for dynamic point cloud attribute compression
share
In point cloud compression, exploiting temporal redundancy for inter predictive coding is challenging because of the irregular geometry. This paper proposes an efficient block-based inter-coding scheme for color attribute compression. The scheme includes integer-precision motion estimation and an adaptive graph based in-loop filtering scheme for improved attribute prediction. The proposed block-based motion estimation scheme consists of an initial motion search that exploits geometric and color attributes, followed by a motion refinement that only minimizes color prediction error. To further improve color prediction, we propose a vertex-domain low-pass graph filtering scheme that can adaptively remove noise from predictors computed from motion estimation with different accuracy. Our experiments demonstrate significant coding gain over state-of-the-art coding methods.
