In autonomous vehicles or robots, point clouds from LiDAR can provide accurate depth information of objects compared with 2D images, but they also suffer a large volume of data, which is inconvenient for data storage or transmission. In this paper, we propose a Range image-based Point Cloud Compression method, R-PCC, which can reconstruct the point cloud with uniform or non-uniform accuracy loss. We segment the original large-scale point cloud into small and compact regions for spatial redundancy and salient region classification. Compared with other voxel-based or image-based compression methods, our method can keep and align all points from the original point cloud in the reconstructed point cloud. It can also control the maximum reconstruction error for each point through a quantization module. In the experiments, we prove that our easier FPS-based segmentation method can achieve better performance than instance-based segmentation methods such as DBSCAN. To verify the advantages of our proposed method, we evaluate the reconstruction quality and fidelity for 3D object detection and SLAM, as the downstream tasks. The experimental results show that our elegant framework can achieve 30$times$ compression ratio without affecting downstream tasks, and our non-uniform compression framework shows a great improvement on the downstream tasks compared with the state-of-the-art large-scale point cloud compression methods. Our real-time method is efficient and effective enough to act as a baseline for range image-based point cloud compression. The code is available on https://github.com/StevenWang30/R-PCC.git.
Photo-realistic point cloud capture and transmission are the fundamental enablers for immersive visual communication. The coding process of dynamic point clouds, especially video-based point cloud compression (V-PCC) developed by the MPEG standardiza
Robust and accurate, map-based localization is crucial for autonomous mobile systems. In this paper, we exploit range images generated from 3D LiDAR scans to address the problem of localizing mobile robots or autonomous cars in a map of a large-scale
In this paper, we propose a two-stage deep learning framework called VoxelContext-Net for both static and dynamic point cloud compression. Taking advantages of both octree based methods and voxel based schemes, our approach employs the voxel context
This paper addresses the problem of compression of 3D point cloud sequences that are characterized by moving 3D positions and color attributes. As temporally successive point cloud frames are similar, motion estimation is key to effective compression
Compression of point clouds has so far been confined to coding the positions of a discrete set of points in space and the attributes of those discrete points. We introduce an alternative approach based on volumetric functions, which are functions def
