• Abstract: Existing post-decoding quality enhancement methods for point clouds are designed for static data and typically process each frame independently. As a result, they cannot effectively exploit the spatiotemporal correlations present in point cloud sequences.We propose a unified geometry and attribute enhancement framework (DUGAE) for G-PCC compressed dynamic point clouds that explicitly exploits inter-frame spatiotemporal correlations in both geometry and attributes. First, a dynamic geometry enhancement network (DGE-Net) based on sparse convolution (SPConv) and feature-domain geometry motion compensation (GMC) aligns and aggregates spatiotemporal information. Then, a detail-aware k-nearest neighbors (DA-KNN) recoloring module maps the original attributes onto the enhanced geometry at the encoder side, improving mapping completeness and preserving attribute details. Finally, a dynamic attribute enhancement network (DAE-Net) with dedicated temporal feature extraction and feature-domain attribute motion compensation (AMC) refines attributes by modeling complex spatiotemporal correlations. On seven dynamic point clouds from the 8iVFB v2, Owlii, and MVUB datasets, DUGAE significantly enhanced the performance of the latest G-PCC geometry-based solid content test model (GeS-TM v10). For geometry (D1), it achieved an average BD-PSNR gain of 11.03 dB and a 93.95% BD-bitrate reduction. For the luma component, it achieved a 4.23 dB BD-PSNR gain with a 66.61% BD-bitrate reduction. DUGAE also improved perceptual quality (as measured by PCQM) and outperformed V-PCC. Our source code will be released on GitHub at: https://github.com/yuanhui0325/DUGAE
