• Abstract: We study the problem of attribute compression for large-scale unstructured 3D point clouds. Through an in-depth exploration of the relationships between different encoding steps and different attribute channels, we introduce a deep compression network, termed 3DAC, to explicitly compress the attributes of 3D point clouds and reduce storage usage in this paper. Specifically, the point cloud attributes such as color and reflectance are firstly converted to transform coefficients. We then propose a deep entropy model to model the probabilities of these coefficients by considering information hidden in attribute transforms and previous encoded attributes. Finally, the estimated probabilities are used to further compress these transform coefficients to a final attributes bitstream. Extensive experiments conducted on both indoor and outdoor large-scale open point cloud datasets, including ScanNet and SemanticKITTI, demonstrated the superior compression rates and reconstruction quality of the proposed 3DAC.

  This paper specializes in using a deep learning-based probabilistic model to estimate the Shannon's entropy of the point cloud information. Once the entropy of the point cloud dataset is estimated, we use the learned CVAE model to compress the geometric attributes of the point clouds. The novelty of our method with bits-back coding specializes in utilizing the learned latent variable model of the CVAE to compress the point cloud data.

  Point cloud obtained from 3D scanning is often sparse, noisy, and irregular. To cope with these issues, recent studies have been separately conducted to densify, denoise, and complete inaccurate point cloud. We propose a deep point cloud reconstruction network consisting of two stages: 1) a 3D sparse stacked-hourglass network as for the initial densification and denoising, 2) a refinement via transformers converting the discrete voxels into 3D points.
