Abstract: The present subject matter relates to point cloud encoding and decoding methods and apparatuses. A point cloud file transmitted by a data source is received. The point cloud file comprises point cloud media tracks having the same point cloud content and point cloud media tracks having different frame rates. File encapsulation information of the point cloud media tracks are parsed to obtain frame rate indication information carried in the file encapsulation information. The frame rate indication information indicates frame rates of the point cloud media tracks. A point cloud media track with a designated frame rate is selected and decoded from the point cloud file according to the frame rate indication information carried in the file encapsulation information.

Abstract: Techniques are introduced herein for maintaining geometry-type data on persistent storage and in memory. Specifically, a DBMS that maintains a database table, which includes at least one column storing spatial data objects (SDOs), also maintains metadata for the database table that includes definition data for one or more virtual columns of the table. According to an embodiment, the definition data includes one or more expressions that calculate minimum bounding box values for SDOs stored in the geometry-type column in the table. The one or more expressions in the metadata maintained for the table are used to create one or more in-memory columns that materialize the bounding box data for the represented SDOs. When a query that uses spatial-type operators to perform spatial filtering over data in the geometry-type column is received, the DBMS replaces the spatial-type operators with operators that operate over the scalar bounding box information materialized in memory.
