Abstract: Methods, systems and devices described herein implement a task-driven machine learning-based compression scheme for point cloud geometry implicit representation. The machine learning-based codec is able to be optimized for a task to achieve better compression rates by being conditioned to what the reconstructed signal will be used for. The latent representation of the point cloud or the neural network that implicitly represents the point cloud itself are able to be compressed. The methods described herein perform efficient compression of the implicit representation of a point cloud given a target task.
